"The occasion of this book is an article of mine in Harper's New Monthly Magazine for June, 1891, called "The Technique of Rest," which was an attempt to help, out of my own rather wide experience, some of the women who were tired. Thanks and appreciation were universal from the women who spoke of the article; it seemed to have touched the right chord, and for that I was very thankful, since the world of women is not destitute of effort, nor is its effort purposeless, but the purpose is too often methodless, and so, much brave effort is worse than wasted. This is particularly the case in home life, the demands of which must of necessity be multifarious and never-ending.

Alors que d'aucuns, en quête de profits, contestent désormais le principe du jour de repos hebdomadaire, l'auteur se penche sur les origines juives de ce jour spécifique de la semaine, soit le shabbat, l'un des piliers majeurs de la tradition judaïque, - et sa "christianisation" ultérieure. Le lecteur trouvera ici la signification de cette journée (bien plus qu'un simple jour de repos !), les lois qui la régissent, les règles qui entourent cette cérémonie. L'auteur soulève aussi la question du rapport de Jésus au Shabbat et l'altération de sa pensée par l'apôtre Paul, lequel, après avoir nié les lois juives de la Torah, a également modifié l'histoire et le message christique. Cette étude audacieuse, qui rebat les cartes d'un sujet ancien, mais d'une grande actualité, se base essentiellement sur des écrits chrétiens : elle rencontrera la curiosité des juifs et des chrétiens, des croyants et des agnostiques.
