American culture generates restlessness, telling people through advertising that what they have-including other people in their lives-isn't good enough. As a result, many get on a "treadmill," always looking for something better, Dr. Norman Wirzba said Nov. 1 at Bluffton University.

Sabbath sets restlessness aside, though, telling those who take time for it that they, and the ones they're with, are gifts from God, added the Duke Divinity School professor.
