What is the meaning and purpose of human life? Founded on Biblical revelation and in the context of the Church's confession, Day 7 makes the case that God created humans both to work and to practice true leisure. Along with exploring the challenge of human work, the classic understanding of leisure as contemplation and festival celebration is presented and embraced. Drawing on the insights of Martin Luther, these apparently contradictory conceptions of human purpose are brought together in the idea of the receptive life, which, it is argued, is the right way to keep sabbath.
