There is a quest going on to reduce Jesus to a mythic legend or to nothing more than a mere man.

Instead, the only way we can make use of the Sabbath is to see God's original intent for the day with new eyes. In Sabbath, Allender builds a case for delight by looking at this day as a festival that celebrates God's re-creative, redemptive love.
