The Bible is filled with commands to care for the poor. But how
does Scripture envision the people of God becoming a community
capable of following those commands? In Formative Feasting, Dr.
Michael J. Rhodes argues that meals stand at the heart of
Scripture's strategy for moral formation oriented towards justice
and solidarity. To make this case, Rhodes brings together a
constructive, theological account of moral formation through
practice with rigorous exegesis of the Deuteronomic tithe-meal and
Corinthian Lord's Supper. By drawing on virtue ethics, ritual
studies, and socio-economic research on meals in the ancient Near
East and Greco-Roman world, Rhodes both demonstrates that these
meals intended to transform the individual and corporate character
of the communities that practiced them, and uncovers the
"mechanics" of moral formation embedded within them. The result is
a book that models a partnership between theological ethics and
theological interpretation that overcomes the oft-lamented gap
between exegesis and ethics, with important implications for
contemporary communities of faith. Formative Feasting will be of
special interest to researchers, students, and church leaders
interested in moral formation and the Bible, as well as those
interested in feasting and eating in Scripture. Seminary and
college courses focused on issues of food in the biblical world, as
well as those exploring the relationship between exegesis and
ethics, will find Formative Feasting an essential addition to
course readings.
