Sabbath Time explores the roots of the Sabbath in the Judeo-Christian tradition. This revised and updated edition demonstrates how a deeper understanding and practice of the rhythm of the Sabbath provide an alternative to society's rhythm of achievement and escape. Sabbath Time also heightens our appreciation of the relationship between ministry and contemplation in our contemporary world. Edwards offers readers a revealing vision of ways to maintain faithfully the balance among worship, play, rest, work, community, and ministry.
