The Sabbath Presence in the Hebrew Bible: Origins and Meanings

Chircan, Beniamin Laurențiu

This volume offers a fresh hermeneutical approach to the Sabbath, focusing on its origins and foundational meaning in the Hebrew Bible. Moving beyond historical development, practical applications, or theological debates, it examines the Sabbath as a "free day" through meticulous philological and exegetical analysis. By exploring the seventh day of creation as "the day of the Presence," the book presents a profound engagement with the biblical text, shedding new light on the theological and existential dimensions of rest. This volume appeals to scholars and specialists in biblical studies, theology, and religious studies, as well as for graduate students, academics, and clergy.
