If you wanted mostly theology or philosophy, you'll be disappointed. If you wanted a decisive conclusion, you'll be disappointed. On the other hand, the historical information was very good. And I was glad a liberal Jewish author didn't take cheap shots on Christians, but was qenerally quite positive and realistic. I learned a lot about Jewish and Christian shabbat practices- which was one reason for buying the book. What I expected from the author- and didn't get- was a stronger ending that answered the question "where do I go from here?" I sympathized with her struggles with shabbat, I do to,as a Christian Sunday keeper, that is. I know more, but I still don't have a lot of direction for truly honoring and keeping shabbat. Don't think I didn't like the book. I do. I could overlook the author's definite liberal slant both theologically and politically. All in all, well said and long overdue. But again, where do go from here?Get more detail about The Sabbath World: Glimpses of a Different Order of Time.
