Description
Sabbath as Resistance offers a transformative vision of wholeness, inviting readers to break free from the restless cycle of a 24/7 society. Walter Brueggemann argues that the Sabbath is not just about keeping rules, but about becoming a whole person and restoring a whole society.
Brueggemann challenges our consumerist culture, where we live to achieve, accomplish, perform, and possess. Instead, he shows us how keeping the Sabbath allows us to focus on what truly matters: God, other people, and all life. This new edition with a study guide provides a practical guide for groups or self-reflection, helping us to find a more fulfilling and simpler life.
