Dr. Joel Beeke has added his commendation to this now joint project by Naphtali Press and RHB to publish Nicholas Bownd's True Doctrine of the Sabbath. Things are looking good and Lord willing I will send this off to the press by the end of next week.
[FONT="]“It is astonishing that the Puritan Nicholas Bownd’s famous work on the Sabbath, which greatly influenced later Puritanism and the Westminster Assembly, and by extension, Western Christendom for centuries, has not been printed in a critical edition with modern typeface long ago. Not reprinted since 1606, this classic work emphasizes the fourth commandment’s morally binding character, the divine institution of the entire Sabbath as the Lord’s Day set apart to worship God, and the cessation of non-religious activities that distract from worship and acts of mercy. I am so grateful that it is back in print, and pray that it will do much good to restore the value and enhance the joy of the Lord’s Day for many believers around the world.” [/FONT]
