Some Christians keep the seventh-day Sabbath, but not other Old Testament laws. Some Christians teach tithing, but not other Old Testament laws. Some Christians keep more, some less. Why one and not another? Anyone who wants to make sense out of the Old Testament needs to learn how to discern the difference between obsolete and current. In this book, the guidelines given by the Bible itself are examined and applied. Written at a level any lay Christian can understand, because the author is convinced that all Christians can and should understand this part of the Christian Bible.
Sabbath, Circumcision, and Tithing

Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From the Author
Whether I write in favor of the Sabbath or against it, the result will be controversial. That is why the first part of the book deals with broader principles; it is after this foundation has been established that we can study the Sabbath in more depth. I think this book will be particularly helpful for people who are considering leaving or joining a Sabbath-keeping church.
The question is not whether we should obey God, but which laws are still valid. The New Testament gives us the guidance we need.

More About the Author
I grew up in a small town in southern Illinois: Sparta. Our family of seven was religious but did not go to church - instead, we had a Bible study at home every week. I eventually began attending a church after I moved away, and then I went to a Bible college, and eventually a seminary. Now I work for Grace Communion International, and teach part-time at Azusa Pacific University in Azusa, California. My interests are the Gospels, the epistles and theology of Paul, and ethics.

Great book for anyone who is confused about old testament rules. Many ministers talk about tithing. Some churches talk about a weekly rest. This book helped me a lot with these kinds of issues. But it also helped me in the "grace versus works" department. It's always been a bit of a puzzle to me. Not any more. Thanks.

This review is from: Sabbath, Circumcision, and Tithing: Which Old Testament Laws Apply to Christians? (Paperback)
As someone who has also been on both sides of the 7th Day Sabbath fence, I found this well thought out book to be clear and strongly rooted in scripture.
If you have questions about the Law that was given in the Old Testament, this is an outstanding resource.

This review is from: Sabbath, Circumcision, and Tithing: Which Old Testament Laws Apply to Christians? (Kindle Edition)
Morrison has an agenda set forth in his book that neither the apostles, including Paul or Christians personally observed the Sabbath or Sunday. Morrison only believes Jesus and the Jews did at that time period.To me this is incredible, seeing that the apostles ALL were natural Jews from birth.I would like to ask Mr Morrison when did Jesus ever instruct his 12 apostles to abandon the Sabbath altogether and only go into the synagogues to witness the good news of Jesus? When? Also Morrison states that there were no Christians living then who observed the Sabbath day? Mr Morrison, did you forget about Lydia? Mr Morrison's whole purpose in his book is to say no day of the week is really important for Christians to observe at all. This book is just terrible scriptural apologetics
