Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Sabbath in History, Vol. 1 The present work has grown out of the nucleus of a few articles contributed to a Jewish Weekly. It has now assumed the dimension of a book, in which form it is and will further be given to the world. The author has, for several reasons, seen fit to publish the first part separately at present, and let the remainder follow in a short time. Whether this will be divided into two more parts, or appear at once in one volume, will be decided hereafter. In the sequel of the present publication the author deals with the following subjects: The Sabbath with Jesus, as to doctrine and practice; the Sabbath in the Apostolic age; the Sabbath with the Jewish Christian sects, the Nazarenes and Ebionites; the Sabbath in Pauline and Gentile Christianity. The object he has in view in putting his work before a larger public is twofold, religious and scientific. The Sabbath, most sacred as it is in its significance, and as yet theoretically planted hard and fast in the consciousness of the generality of Israel as the "perpetual sign between them and God," has yet practically lost in modern days much of its pristine awfulness, and even of the fervid reverence paid to it in ages not so long gone by. Notwithstanding that it is yet generally exalted as a prominently distinctive mark of Judaism, and valued as one of the few remaining bonds of Israel's union, it is alas! too often made to yield to the so-called pressure of modern business relations, and thus compromised as to its sanctity and validity; or it is paltered with and bartered away on various grounds of expediency.
