Description

Discussions about the Sabbath frequently center around moralistic laws and arguments over whether a person must be capable to play cards or purchase liquor on Sundays. In this volume, popular writer Walter Brueggemann writes that the Sabbath isn’t simply about keeping rules but quite about becoming a whole person and restoring a whole society. Importantly, Brueggemann speaks to a 24/7 society of consumption, a society in which we are living to reach, accomplish, perform, and possess. We would like more, own more, use more, eat more, and drink more. Keeping the Sabbath allows us to break this restless cycle and focus on what is actually important: God, other people, all life. Brueggemann offers a transformative vision of the wholeness God intends, giving world-weary Christians a glimpse of a more fulfilling and simpler life through Sabbath observance.
