The Origin of the Sabbath

Is the Sabbath simply a Mosaic institution? The biblical data suggests that the weekly Sabbath actually goes back further than Moses, all the way back to creation. In this lesson, Dr. Godfrey defends the position that the weekly Sabbath is a creation ordinance through an examination of key texts, discusses the implications of this truth, and introduces what appear to be New Testament difficulties for this position.
