Seven Days To Freedom Summary

Seven Days To Freedom: Joining up connections in Creation by John Dudley Davies

** Now available for pre-order (title will be released on February 26th) ** The biblical story of Creation is all about liberation. The Genesis narrative of the Six Days leads to its climax and its purpose in the Seventh Day, the Sabbath. The Sabbath is centred around the aims of creating a community of freedom, of shared resources of land and wealth, and of the overcoming of exclusion, and these priorities are affirmed by Jesus in his reclaiming of the Sabbath. In Seven Days to Freedom, John Davies shows how this four-fold integrated process is essential to the biblical witness concerning Creation, and demonstrates how it is relevant to many contemporary concerns, including housing and land-tenure, slavery, climate-change, and education. Without such commitment to liberation, our understanding of Creation is weak and untrue to our Creator's purpose.

Seven Days To Freedom Reviews

'A revelatory compendium of contemporary truths culled from a reading of the Bible rooted in the realities of our day. It is the fruit of the intelligence, insight, wisdom and compassion which have been hallmarks of Bishop Davies' long life and ministry.' -- John L. Bell
'Utterly brilliant: refreshing, original, insightful, funny, disturbing. Rather than being yet another book, this comes across as the book, addressing our condition and providing light in some very dark tunnels.' -- David Wilbourne
