News of the Society

Last Modified: December 2007

The James Begg Society now closes its Website on the Christian Sabbath (i.e., on Sundays)

We, as Christians, believe in keeping God's sabbath law. We also believe that God would justly consider us as not properly keeping the sabbath law if we enabled or condoned the breaking of it by other people. For this reason we do not wish you to visit our website on the Christian Sabbath, which is held on the first day of every week (also known by Christians as the Lord's Days), i.e., Sundays.

About the James Begg Society The Rev. James Begg D.D. was a leading figure in the Church of Scotland in the early 19th Century, and from the foundation of the Free Church of Scotland in 1843. He was a strong opponent of Roman Catholicism, Moderatism (also called Liberal Theology) and innovations that polluted the purity of Christian worship. The James Begg Society, formed in 1995, is committed to the same Reformed Christian religion as Dr Begg — as formulated in the Westminister Standards. The aim of the Society is to advance the Reformed Christian religion through publishing, and thereby to encourage Biblical unity of doctrine, worship and practice among Christians. We seek to re-publish the works of notable 16th-19th Century Scottish presbyterians and of modern authors of like faith from around the world.
