Time and space condense as unrelenting “connectedness” blurs the lines between work and play, fact and fiction, need and desire. The devices meant to improve lives dominate them in what theologian Walter Brueggemann calls “the tyranny of now.” People are looking for accessible solutions to complex problems. People need resilience but are ill-equipped to find it.
In this book, the Fellows of the Mockler Center at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary offer a solution not from the well-trodden psychological disciplines or the lure of New Age mysticism but in a concept as old as the Scriptures themselves—the divine gift of Sabbath. The authors explore in detail Jesus’ words, “Sabbath was made for humanity, not humanity for the Sabbath,” proposing five areas (values, time, space, people, and faith) where a more comprehensive understanding of Sabbath can build resilience by reshaping personal and professional identities in accord with God’s will and purpose.
