Review # 1 was written on 2010-03-09 00:00:00 Shawn Finley We often read Jesus' conflicts over the sabbath in purely personal/individualistic ways. This book helpfully reveals the sabbath's more pervasive political dimension. It shows the OT links between sabbath and jubilee. By the end, you shouldn't be able to hear the word "sabbath" without thinking of political systems, thinking of a huge clash with the economics of our world.

Review # 2 was written on 2020-06-07 00:00:00 Guy Schaub Still very interested in this subject, but this volume had to many distractions from the main point to be enjoyable. The author seems compelled to regularly attribute the covenant blessings of God through the Sabbath to a later date, another people, or as a cover for real exploits (as in the kingship). Often, this was done without any point related to the subject whatsoever or without any grounds (citation) for this view. Perhaps I can find a better biblical theology on Sabbath out there. I really enjoyed L. Michael Morales' biblical theology on Leviticus and was hoping for an expansion on some of the discussion of sabbath therein. This was not what I was hoping for.
