SABBATH
An Ancient Tradition Meets the Modern World
In his new film SABBATH, award-winning filmmaker Martin Doblmeier explores the religious, secular, psychological, and sociological implications of a weekly day of rest for a “profoundly burned-out world.” The wide-ranging two-hour documentary delves into the history and practice of an ancient concept that is rooted in the biblical story of creation.
Practicing Sabbath may be a remedy for what ails the modern world—whether it’s a 24-hour religious observance, or a secular respite from the nonstop pace. “Two-thirds of Americans say that they’re working more than 40 hours week,” says sociologist Notre Dame Tricia Bruce. “We work more in order to sustain the same level of living,”
Internist Dr. Sigve Tonstad notes that the increased use of prescription medications for acid reflex and mood disorders indicates just how stressed-out society is.
“Our world now runs 24/7 with little distinction given to the day or the hour.
Sabbath challenges us to set aside time for the sacred, to set sacred time apart from ordinary time and do it regularly,” says Doblmeier. “It has been an important and life-guiding practice across the ages and it’s needed now mor

Theology Pathfinder
In a first for this site, I’ve had the privilege of being invited to host this month’s Biblical Studies Carnival! These carnivals are a long-running tradition in the world of academic biblical studies blogging, and I greatly enjoyed putting this together. A “carnival” is basically a roundup of new posts and publications from the previous month. It helps give exposure to some good scholarship or thought-provoking writing that people might otherwise have missed.
Without further ado, here’s what I found to be well worth reading in November:
Hebrew Bible / Old Testament Studies
The folks behind Logos Bible Software put out this great reflection on the theme of exile in the Pentateuch on their blog.
Brandon D. Smith weighs in on the historical Adam debate. I’m sure he and I would quibble on some of the details, but I largely agree with his conclusion about how we should preach and teach Genesis 1-3.
