sabbath as resistance: saying NO to the CULTURE OF NOW

sabbath as resistance: saying NO to the CULTURE OF NOW

by Walter Bruggemann

A review by Pete Van Dyk

A well-reasoned critique of the market’s control and pressure in our lives: Bruggemann offers an alternative approach to living through mindful Sabbath practice, and how it can have impact beyond the day of rest.  This is a short book but covers a lot of ground, pivoting between scripture and economic meditations-- it’s clear this is a topic that the author has spent a lot of time with.

Bruggeman does to the market what Kendrick did to Drake. If you’re looking for a book that links Karl Marx’s commodity fetishism to Solomon’s temple, don’t delay-- borrow your copy from the church library today.
