Sabbathkeeping among Christians in India: A Brief Note

Abstract

In Sabbath apologetics, many authors maintain that ancient Christian communities
in India kept the seventh day holy. A statement by a 19th century Anglican clergyman
figures prominently in those works. However, the Armenians to whom C. Buchanan
is referring are unlikely to have observed Saturday holy and his context suggests
that the "seventh day" phrase actually refers to Sunday worship.
