Request for helpful information on the Sabbath

[Der Pilger]

Greetings all:

This has probably been discussed on these boards in the past, but I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions on books or articles that would help one understand questions about the Sabbath, namely:

If Christians are not freed from the obligation to keep the law, we must keep the Sabbath holy. But which day is the Sabbath now--Saturday or Sunday?

Piggybacking on that question is this one: Why is Sunday considered the Lord's Day (Christian Sabbath?) whereas under the Old Covenant it was Saturday? When and how did this change?

Any articles, book suggestions or thoughts would be helpful. Thanks!
