The Sabbath under Crossfire: A Biblical Analysis of Recent Sabbath/Sunday Developments

Abstract

Samuele Bacchiocchi is well known among theologians and serious Bible
students in the Seventh-day Adventist (SDA) Church to which he belongs, and in
other denominations as well, as a dedicated and skilled Bible scholar, lecturer, and
writer. He is perhaps best known for his doctoral dissertation and subsequent
writings on the seventh-day Sabbath and the historical change in the Christian
Church from observance of the seventh day to observance of Sunday. Recent debates
concerning the Sabbath, in which he has been deeply involved, have gained wide
attention.
