Calvin and the Sabbath by Richard B. Gaffin Pdf

Calvin's views on the Sabbath are the subject of claim and counterclaim. This book brings together two controversial themes: Calvin's ideas on Church/state relationships, and on the sabbath. Richard Gaffin traces the development of the beliefs of Calvin through his comments and writings, and also helps us to understand the relationship between the ten commandments and the New Testament. Calvin's conclusions have a much wider implication than just what you do on Sunday! You might also be surprised by Griffin's analysis!

The Battle for the Sabbath in the Dutch Reformation by Kyle J. Dieleman Pdf

Kyle J. Dieleman focuses on the doctrinal and practical importance of Sunday observance in the early modern Reformed communities in the Low Countries. My project investigates the theological import of the Sabbath and its practical applications. The first step is to focus on how Dutch Reformed theologians conceived of the Sabbath. The theology of the Sabbath, I argue, moves over time from an emphasis on spiritual rest to participating in the ministries of the church to a strict rest from all work and recreation. The next step is to explore congregants' actual Sunday practices. By attending to church governance records at the national, regional, and local levels the importance of proper Sabbath observance quickly becomes clear. The provincial synod records, classes' records, and consistory records indicate that church authorities were adamant that church members faithfully attend sermon and catechism services, refrain from sinful practices, and abstain from recreational activities. Equally as telling as the observance demanded of church members is how church authorities responded. The church records portray these authorities as fretting over the disordered and unregulated nature of improper Sabbath observance. Having established the importance of the Sabbath in Dutch Reformed theology and lived piety, I argue the emphasis on Sunday observance is best understood as resulting from two main factors. First, the emphasis on proper Sunday observance is a result of the Reformed church authorities attempting to maintain the pious reputation of the Reformed faith and establish the identity of the Reformed Church amid multiple other confessional identities. Second, proper observance of the Sabbath was important because it ensured order within the church and society more broadly.

John Calvin and the Righteousness of Works by Kevin P. Emmert Pdf

John Calvin's understanding of works-righteousness is more complex than is often recognized. While he denounces it in some instances, he affirms it in others. This study shows that Calvin affirms works-righteousness within the context where faith-righteousness is already established, and that he even teaches a form of justification by works. Calvin ascribes not only a positive role to good works in relation to divine acceptance, but also soteriological value to believers' good works. This study demonstrates such by exploring Calvin's theological anthropology, his understanding of divine-human activity, his teaching on the nature of good works, and his understanding of divine grace and benevolence. It also addresses current debates in Calvin scholarship by exploring topics such as union with Christ, the relation between justification and sanctification, the relation between good works and divine acceptance, the role of good works in the Christian life, and the content of good works.

Remember the Sabbath Day by Pierre Viret,John Calvin Pdf

Why was the Sabbath Day ordained? What is its meaning for the New Testament believer? How important is a proper understanding of this command, and what are the dangers of misunderstanding it? How does the fourth commandment relate particularly to fathers, mothers, and families? What is its application for magistrates and the civil realm?Whether it's a question of worship and the Church or a matter of whether a business establishment should remain open or closed on Sunday, the fourth commandment is a law surrounded by debate, disagreement, and misunderstanding. Remember the Sabbath Day boldly addresses these and numerous other contemporary issues by bringing to the table the matured wisdom and Biblical understanding of the Christian giants of a previous century.Often referred to as "the Guardian of the Faith" and "the Foundation of Christianity," the Sabbath Day and the fourth commandment has stood as a bulwark of the Faith for millennia. Within this work Swiss Reformer Pierre Viret and his contemporary John Calvin delve into the true meaning and blessings of God's command for a Day of Rest. Offering often-overlooked insights into the purpose of this command, the reader will find that their intensely practical and astonishingly applicable writings provide a solid Biblical foundation for those seeking a better understanding of the wisdom, treasure, and responsibility of the fourth commandment.

A Continental View: Johannes Cocceius's Federal Theology of the Sabbath by Casey B. Carmichael Pdf

Carmichael argues that Johannes Cocceius's theology of the Sabbath serves as a window through which one can view more clearly his federal theology or covenant theology. Covenant theology was the most distinctive feature of his theology. Moreover, Cocceius spent a notable portion of his life engaging in the Leiden Sabbath Controversies from 1655 to 1659, which played a key role in the split of the Reformed Dutch Republic into two socio-political blocs—Cocceians and Voetians. So far scholars have tended to overlook this critical phase in Cocceius's theological development. Carmichael sheds light on it by looking at the theological texts that Cocceius wrote that absorbed his attention during this significant period. Casey Carmichael examines first the evolution of the problem of the Sabbath in Cocceius's theological tradition—Reformed Orthodoxy—in Chapters 2–4 and second the development of Cocceius's doctrine of the Sabbath, structured around the Leiden Sabbath Controversies, in Chapters 5–8.

Foundations of Covenant Theology by Lane G. Tipton Pdf

Drawing from Genesis 1:1 and subsequent biblical revelation, Lane Tipton argues that before creating the visible world, the immutable triune God created a heavenly temple dwelling, filled that heavenly dwelling with the unchanging glory of his Spirit, and sanctified that heavenly dwelling as the realm of everlasting Sabbath Rest. Adam, as the created image of God and federal head of his posterity, could have advanced through perfect covenantal obedience beyond probation on the mountain of God in earthly Eden into the heavenly dwelling of God in Sabbath Rest. This God-centered and heaven-focused theological backdrop enriches our understanding of the person and work of Jesus Christ, as the second and last Adam in the covenant of grace, who in his humiliation and exaltation has opened the gates of heavenly paradise for his church.

From Sabbath to Lord's Day by D. A. Carson Pdf

A series of authors assert the premise that Sunday is Òa new day of worship that was chosen to commemorate the unique, salvation-historical event of the death and resurrection of Christ, rather than merely being another day for celebrating the Sabbath.Ó
