Why is sabbath so critical for the life of faith? And where does sabbath rest fit into a restless, ‘always-on’ society? Sabbath Rest considers the theological foundations of Christian sabbath-keeping, in first and second temple Judaism, New Testament Christianity and in the early church. Exploring the biblical commandments and stories around the sabbath, Mark Scarlata connects the principles of sabbath rest to the demands and challenges of our modern technological and consumer society.
Another good read on the topic of Sabbath. Fantastic range of Scripture and cross pollination of themes. Would have liked to have read more on resting from digital given the subheading, and would have appreciated examples of the author's own Sabbath practice
