Revelations from the Lost Pages of History


Silver Spring, MD, USA
The Seventh Day, a five-part documentary series tracing the history of the Sabbath, will premiere on Hope Channel beginning Friday, April 6, 2007.
Subtitled Revelations from the Lost Pages of History, the series highlights 2,000 years of conflict over the Christian day of worship. From the revolutionary Sabbath teachings of Jesus to the Sabbath-keeping Taiping Revolution in the 19th century China, from the first Sunday-keeping churches in Rome and Alexandria to the Sabbath-keeping reformers of 15th century Russia, The Seventh Day tells the story of the Sabbath as it has never been told before.
Produced by northern California-based LLT Productions, The Seventh Day is hosted by Hal Holbrook and features interviews with over 50 scholars from Catholics, Jewish, Orthodox and Protestant communions.
?While Seventh-day Adventist viewers appreciate the historical presentation that confirms their beliefs about the true Sabbath, we have always had the general television audience in mind,? says Jim Wood, writer and associate producer. ?The Seventh Day is designed to raise questions in the minds of people who have always taken for granted that Sunday is the biblical Sabbath.?
The Seventh Day is based on a concept proposed by James Arrabito, an Adventist artist and lay evangelist who traveled the world for three years tracing evidence of Sabbath keeping. Tragically, in 1990 James and two of his sons were killed in a weather-related plane crash in Alaska. His wife, Pat Arrabito, continued the effort as executive producer. Jeff Wood brought The Seventh Day project to completion as producer/director.
