'The Seventh-day Men' was a title given by contemporaries in the
seventeenth and eighteenth centuries to an emerging body of
Christians who observed Saturday, rather than Sunday, as the
divinely appointed day of rest and worship. This is an extensively
revised edition of the first fully documented account of the
Sabbatarian movement and how it spread over England and Wales in
the two centuries following the Reformation. Drawing on many rare
manuscripts and printed works, Dr Ball provides clear evidence that
this Christian movement was far more widespread than is often
recognized, appearing in more than thirty counties. The author
analyses the movement by tracking down its origins as far back as
the Celtic tradition, showing its first appearance as 'modern'
Sabbatarianism around 1402, and finally exploring its decline in
the eighteenth century. As the first comprehensive study of the
subject, this book establishes this movement as a significant
strand of thought in the history of English Nonconformity, with
considerable influence on the religious life of the period. The
first comprehensive study of the history of the Sabbatarian
movement in England and Wales, this book is an invaluable source
for church historians and all those interested in the religious
developments of the early modern period.
