Sabbath James Guzek

Dr. Guzek is a husband, father, ophthalmologist, and former full-time mission doctor in Ghana, West Africa. Based in Kennewick, Washington, he has spent many years teaching catechumens at his local parish.

His interest in the Sabbath began in the early 1990s while teaching medical students at Loma Linda University Medical Center, where conversations with Seventh-day Adventist colleagues and students inspired him to study the topic more deeply. His first work on the subject was published in This Rock Magazine in 1999.

Since then, Dr. Guzek has re-learned Latin and Greek to study primary historical texts firsthand. This channel explores early church history, including how Christians moved from Sabbathkeeping to Eucharistic worship on the Lord’s Day, and from fasting on Nisan 14 to the Good Friday fast before Easter Sunday.
