Sabbath as Rest & Resistance

This eight-session Foundry Master course, offered at Candler School of Theology and open to community members, provides 3 CEUs upon completion. The course explores the biblical theology of Sabbath as well as the purpose, place, and practice of sabbath in Christian spirituality and pastoral leadership. We will come to understand the ancient practice of sabbath keeping as more than just a good idea for managing busyness or a way of taking time off on the weekends. Rather, we will explore sabbath as both a divine gift and a social mandate that extends to us a disruptive and daring invitation to embrace restorative rest, meaningful play, social justice, and resilient faith.
