- A fascinating book tracing the centuries-old links between
theology and food, showing religion in a new and intriguing
light
- Draws on examples from different religions: the significance of
the apple in the Christian Bible and the eating of bread as the
body of Christ; the eating and fasting around Ramadan for Muslims;
and how the dietary laws of Judaism are designed to create an
awareness of living in the time and space of the Torah
- Explores ideas from the fields of literature, politics, and
philosophy, as well as theology
- Takes seriously the idea that food matters, and that the many aspects of eating - table fellowship, culinary traditions, the aesthetic, ethical and political dimensions of food - are important and complex, and throw light on both religion and our relationship to food
