Description

In this Regent College Evening Public Lecture Susan Phillips examines what it means to respond to God's call for us to stop and embrace sabbath-keeping. Sabbath-keeping is a radical practice which, rooted and grounded in the Christian faith, challenges the prevailing attitude of work in today's culture and challenges our own engagement with that culture.
