Abstract
Abstract: The time is ripe for a fuller exploration of Sabbath within the field of Christian spirituality studies. Sabbath bears on several topics important to this field, including prayer, liturgy, time, justice, work, ecology, and interreligious dialogue. While many aspects of Sabbath are relevant to spirituality studies, this essay addresses contemplative dimensions of Sabbath and the potential for deepening more communal understandings of contemplation in dialogue with Jewish thought and practice. The consideration of contemplative dimensions of Sabbath unfolds in three movements: lingering, seeing , and stilling . It ends with a note about the eschatological dimension of Sabbath.
