Time is a precious commoditiy. For many religious people there is also the desire to include sacred time- often by following the commandment to keep the Sabbath day holy. During this “sacred time,” individuals and communities can intentionally set apart moments that transcend the hustle and bustle demanded by our busy moral lives. But how can a person really live to this commandment to keep the Sabbath day holy when our modern world is so different from the commandment's original context with Moses on Mount Sion?

 

The volume's essays, carefully curated, explore the Sabbath throughout time- from both the Old and New Testaments, the post-New Testament Christian Church during the second though the fourth centuries, rabbinic teachings, and modern efforts to keep the Sabbath relevant, including the Restoration and other Christian and Jewish efforts. They offer historical connections to Christian and Jewish predecessors, offering potential solutions than can help us access the renewing, peace-giving power available through the observation of sacred time.

 

Hard cover.
