Host Hal Holbrook takes viewers into the forgotten past through the discoveries of history and archaeology, uncovering a two-thousand-year-old controversy.

This five-part documentary video series reveals the fascinating true story of the Sabbath. The facts are thoroughly attested in the archives and libraries of international scholarship.

Researchers have documented the strategies behind the change of the weekly day of rest from the seventh to the first day of the week.

Supported by the expert testimony of fifty historians and theologians from around the world, The Seventh Day presents a careful historical exposé of the epic battle over the biblical Sabbath.

It illuminates the heroic struggle for religious liberty, fought through long centuries of repression and inquisition.

The Seventh Day is a suprising look at history that raises new questions about the rhythm of life in the 21st century—and beyond.
