Happy is the mortal who does this,
the one who holds it fast,
who keeps the sabbath, not profaning it,
and refrains from doing any evil. (Isaiah 56:2)

The reason that Sabbath is a radical discipline is that it is a regular, disciplined, highly visible withdrawal from the acquisitive society of production and consumption that is shaped by commodity. Work stoppage and rest are public statements that one's existence and eh existence of one's society are not defined by the pursuit of commodity but precisely by the intentional refusal of commodity.
