The Constitutional Amendment: or, The Sunday, the Sabbath, the Change, and Restitution: A discussion between W. H. Littlejohn, Seventh-day Adventist, and the editor of the Christian Statesman

Description

In The Constitutional Amendment, Wolcott H. Littlejohn presents a rigorous legal and theological defense of the Sabbath through the lens of American constitutional law. As a Seventh-day Adventist engaged in public discourse, Littlejohn argues that the biblical Sabbath is not merely a religious preference but a moral and civil obligation that aligns with the founding principles of the United States. He weaves together biblical theology, legal history, and contemporary jurisprudence to demonstrate how the Sabbath serves as a necessary institution for both individual rest and societal health.\n\nThis discussion, originally published in the Christian Statesman, is structured as a dialogue between Littlejohn and the editor, allowing for a dynamic exploration of the Sabbath's legal status and its broader social implications. Littlejohn addresses contemporary legal challenges, the history of Sunday laws, and the theological significance of the seventh day. The book is a valuable resource for legal scholars, religious studies students, and anyone interested in the intersection of faith and law in American society.
