Abstract
Proper observance of the Sabbath was an important aspect of Christian piety in the early modern Dutch Reformed Church. As evidenced by local church records in the Dutch city of Kampen, known as consistory records, church authorities sought to enforce better Sunday observance. This article notes the consistory’s disgust with a disorderly Sabbath that was publicly desecrated. In particular, these concerns for proper Sabbath observance are tied to a concern for order and to the desire to establish a Reformed identity.
