The links between religion and food have been known for centuries,
and yet we rarely examine or understand the nature of the
relationship between food and spirituality, or food and sin.
Drawing on literature, politics, and philosophy as well as
theology, this book unlocks the role food has played within
religious tradition. * 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
