This historical and exegetical investigation strongly challenges
the widely held view that Paul regarded idol food as a matter of
indifference, to be avoided only for the sake of the spiritual
health of the weak. An exhaustive treatment of early Christian
material shows that early authors were deeply influenced by Paul's
discussion in 1 Corinthians 8-10, and yet they were totally unaware
of the subsequent traditional understanding that Paul regarded idol
food as indifferent. Even those who advocated eating idol food did
not once appeal to Paul's discussion for support. An alternative
understanding is proposed: Paul considers conscious consumption of
idol food a denial of one's allegiance to Christ. One must avoid
idol food if, and only if, it is identified as such.
