'Sabbath' as a topic of public interest has tended to focus on issues around Sunday trading and whether or not Christians are obligated to take a Sabbath rest. These are important subjects, though not representative of the foundational biblical ideas regarding Sabbath. Some of these ideas include Sabbath as a basic 'trust structure' within creation, Sabbath as a gift, and the idea of a divine economy in the Old Testament. After exploring some of these topics, we will explore some new ways that Sabbath might challenge and inspire our thinking about business. You can watch part two of this seminar series here
