"A General History of the Sabbatarian Churches" by Tamar Davis is an historical account written in the mid-19th century. This work provides an in-depth examination of various Sabbatarian churches across Asia, Africa, and Europe, including their histories, practices, and the theological implications surrounding the observance of the Sabbath. The author aims to consolidate historical data and emphasize the importance of these groups in the broader context of Christianity. The opening portion of the text begins with a transcriber’s note, confirming corrections and formatting adjustments made to the original manuscript. Then, the author presents a preface that contextualizes the significance of the Sabbath controversy prevailing at the time of writing. Davis articulates her objective to gather and present a compact history of Sabbatarian practices, emphasizing that she does not intend to reiterate common arguments about the Sabbath. Instead, she asserts that the true observance of the Sabbath is a tradition stemming from early Christianity, supported by the examples of various ancient churches that resisted ecclesiastical authority. The introductory sections hint at the complex interplay of religious, historical, and cultural elements that will be explored throughout the book, focusing on key groups such as the Armenian, East Indian, and Abyssinian churches, and the Waldenses, pointing to their enduring commitment to Sabbatarianism.
