Sabbaths of God
Again Available
Anyone who has done serious research on the Biblical Holy Days has probably
come across the landmark book, The Sabbaths of God, by James L. Porter
(Exposition Press, New York: 1966). This 354-page book set the standard for research
and commentary on the Biblical Holy Days. Mr. & Mrs. Porter were members of
the Worldwide Church of God for over three years, and were disfellowshipped in
1959. During the late 1960s and 1970s, his book was available in most public
libraries across America. Since that time, Mr. Porter has ceased publication of
his book, and attrition has caused it to disappear from many library shelves.
Mr. Porter’s views on the Holy Days have changed, due to his involvement in the
charismatic movement. Since 1994, The Sabbaths of God has been in the
public domain. A petroleum geologist, Porter’s views on evolution and ancient
man before Adam are at variance with my understanding. However, most of his
book has valuable insights into the meaning, past, present, and future, of the
Holy Days.
