This story – The Dawn of the Seventh-Day Sabbath in Africa – offers a challenging and thoughtful look at the origins if Christian Sabbatarianism. Drawing on compelling research by leading historians and theologians, “Sabbath Roots” unfolds a story of faith and obedience on the African continent that has frequently been obscured by Euro-centric authors. Charles Bradford’s balanced scholarship offers an important contribution to world Christianity at a time when believers everywhere are awakening to a gospel that preaches cross-cultural inclusiveness and interracial harmony.
