About the Book

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.

Table of Contents:
1. Introduction to the Sabbath 2. The Beauty of Creation 3. The Beauty of Liberation 4. The Rhythms of Grace 5. The Beauty of Rest

About the Author :
Revd Dr Mark Scarlata is Tutor and Lecturer in Old Testament Studies at St Mellitus College, London.

Review :
“Mark Scarlata is offering us something beautiful. By practising Sabbath, we find more than respite from work, but a way to infuse our work with peace and expectation. We not only follow the pattern of our creator, but experience a foretaste of our redemption. I encourage you to let him help you disconnect from the noise of our 24/7 lifestyle and connect afresh to the symphony of salvation.” ‘Stop the world: I want to get off.’ Over busy? Know others under strain? This book is here to help. It’s an accessible exploration of the importance of the Sabbath within the Jewish prophetic writings and the life of the early church. This is relevant to people and communities who want more space, more quiet times, and more connection in their hectic lives. 'Taking the position of one exploring the possibilities of Sabbath, Mark Scarlata opens up what it means to see it as a gift from God which is best understood as an expression of beauty. This beauty challenges the individualism and endless work of the digital age to show how Sabbath can help believers see the world differently, and through this model a different way of being. This is a fruitful and accessible study which poses important questions for the church today, and yet also demonstrates wisdom in showing how it might live out the gift of Sabbath.' "Mark Scarlata explores the meaning of Sabbath rest in the Bible and as it was practiced in the days of Jesus. How can the beauty and religious inspiration of the Sabbath be recaptured today by Christians? Drawing from Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel’s understanding of Sabbath as an opportunity to become attuned to the holiness of time – and life itself – Scarlata demonstrates how Christians as well as Jews might observe the Sabbath and its sanctity with their families and communities."
