Sabbath Defence Tactics: a manual
Transcribed from the 1849 Johnstone and Hunter edition by David Price using scans from the Bodleian Library, Oxford
"Sabbath Defence Tactics: a manual" by James Bridges is a religious manual written in the mid-19th century. It focuses on the observance and sanctity of the Lord’s Day, addressing the growing laxity in Sabbath observance during a time of religious decline in both England and Scotland. The book serves as a guide for those wishing to advocate for Sabbath compliance, particularly against the backdrop of burgeoning railway operations that threaten traditional rest. The content of the book outlines the principles and strategies for Sabbatarians to take action against breaches of Sabbath observance, especially within the context of railway traffic on Sundays. Bridges emphasizes the importance of moral persuasion, unity among believers, and the incorporation of prayer in activism. The book provides practical advice on engaging in railway company meetings, advocating for the cessation of Sabbath traffic, and maintaining a steadfast commitment to religious principles. Through historical examples, Bridges encourages readers to recognize the authority of Scripture in their pursuit of preserving the sanctity of the Sabbath in a rapidly changing societal landscape.
