Spurgeon's Forgotten Sabbatarianism - Examining the Role of the 4th Commandment in His Life and Theology

Brandon M. Rhea

Summary

Spurgeon’s Forgotten Sabbatarianism seeks to document Charles Spurgeon’s teaching and practice on the Christian Sabbath. By looking at his biography through his Sunday activities, the reader will see how Spurgeon believed Sabbath observance required laboring for the Lord through worship, preaching, singing, evangelism, Sunday School ministry, and private devotion. Furthermore, the book shows Spurgeon’s adherence to the Second London Confession of Faith’s articles on the law of God and the Christian Sabbath. He held to the tripartite division of the law and taught all men to obey the moral law which includes the 4th commandment. Rather than seeing the Sabbath as a legalistic burden, he encouraged Christians to observe it with joy while looking with eyes of faith to the eternal Sabbath to come.
