Good review of Harline's book - cougarguard.com — unofficial BYU Cougars / LDS sports, football, basketball forum and message board

Jonny Harline's* father wrote a book entitled "Sunday: A history of the first day from Babylonia to the Super Bowl." The reviewer is a BYU Prof. from Belgium and his review is interesting. The book addresses the origins of the Sabbath within the Christian tradition and it's influence on today's practice. The LDS practice of the sabbath only merit's tangential mention by Harline, but it does appear that it would give a nice historical perspective on LDS observance. When things slow down for me this summer I will definitely check it out.

(If you read the review, make sure to read the comments where Harline responds.)

*Jonny Harline is the BYU tight end who caught John Beck's pass on the last play of the most recent BYU-Utah game. As I recall, this game ended in a BYU victory.
