The History of the Seventh-Day Sabbath in India until the Arrival of Seventh-Day Adventists

Though post-Millerite Sabbatarian Adventists pointed to India as one of the places where the seventh-day Sabbath had been preserved, the historicity of the seventh-day Sabbath among Christians in India has been considered unsubstantiated by more recent seventh-day Adventist scholarship. Nevertheless, several Adventist authors continue to proclaim that church groups in India, especially the Thomas Christians of Kerala, had observed the seventh-day Sabbath from practically the apostolic period onwards.
