Reflections on a Theology of the Sabbath

Raoul Dederen ; Andrews University, Berrien Springs, MI, USA

Abstract

Th e Sabbath issue involves far more than the’ mechanics of keeping the right day as a holy day of rest and worship. Essentially, it is a matter of belief or disbelief in Jesus Christ as Creator and Redeemer, as revealed in the Scriptures; therefore it bears upon the future
orientation of one’s entire way of life. In this article I wish first to consider briefly the basic theological signifi cance of the Sabbath as it is conceived in Scripture, and second to discuss how this day of rest sheds light upon the pattern of man’s basic posture in the presence of God and of his fellow men.
