"A whole chapter of the book is devoted to an indepth analysis of Pope John Paul II's Pastoral letter Dies Domini where he makes a passionate plea for a revival of Sunday observance by making it a moral imperative rooted in the Sabbath Commandment. This historical document has enormous significance because it calls upon all Christians to 'strive to ensure that civil legislation respects their duty to keep sunday holy.' "This timely book will enlighten you on why the Sabbath has come under the crossfire of controversy today, and will enrich your understanding and experience of the benefits of God's Holy Day." --publicity blurb for the book Watch:Jerusalem newsletter has made available the entirety of the Pope's Pastoral letter Dies Domini and Dr. Bacchiocchi's original Reply, which formed the basis of the above-mentioned chapter. --W:J |
