"The Christian Sabbath: Is It of Divine Origin?" by John E. Remsburg is a late 1800's theological argument, challenging the idea that Sunday is a divinely appointed holy day for Christians. It suggests that Sunday worship comes from older, non-Christian customs. The book carefully reviews Bible verses and writings from important religious people like St. Paul and early church leaders. Remsburg uses these sources to claim that Christian teachings don't actually require anyone to treat a specific day as a day of rest. He tries to show how the idea of changing the holy day from the Jewish Sabbath to Sunday was based on misunderstandings, urging people to rethink the importance of Sabbath traditions based on historical proof.
