The Chrisitian Day Of Worship Gatherings- Its New Testament Practice And Theological Basis, David Fielding May 1990

The Chrisitian Day Of Worship Gatherings- Its New Testament Practice And Theological Basis, David Fielding

Master of Sacred Theology Thesis

This paper presents an antidote to sabbatarianism, namely the New Testament teaching of Christ as the fulfillment of the sabbath. A corollary to this idea is the matter of Christian freedom regarding the day for worship. The principle of Christian liberty in such matters is neglected by legalistic sabbatarians. It needs to be said that Christ did not directly abolish the sabbath. He fulfilled it. Observance of a particular day is not satisfactory in the Christiane era, as this study demonstrates.


The Vicarious Atonement In The Sacrificial Ritual Of The Old Testament, Thomas Coates May 1942

The Vicarious Atonement In The Sacrificial Ritual Of The Old Testament, Thomas Coates

In full cognisance of this inherent but inescapable limitation, we shall devote our attention successively to the four chief elements in the Old Testament system of worships The Festivals; the Sacrifices and Offerings, the Sanctuary and the Priesthood.
