This book provides a comprehensive theological framework for
assessing the significance of eating. Drawing on diverse
theological, philosophical, and anthropological insights, it offers
fresh ways to evaluate food production and consumption practices as
they are being worked out in today's industrial food economy.
Unlike books that focus primarily on vegetarianism and
hunger-related concerns, this book broadens the scope of
consideration to include the sacramental character of eating, the
deep significance of hospitality, the meaning of death and
sacrifice, the Eucharist as the place of inspiration and
orientation, the importance of saying grace, and the possibility of
eating in heaven. Throughout, eating is presented as a way of
enacting fidelity between persons, between people and fellow
creatures, and between people and Earth. Food and Faith
demonstrates that eating is of profound economic, moral, and
spiritual significance. Revised throughout, this edition includes a
new introduction and two chapters, as well as updated bibliography.
The additions add significantly to the core idea of creaturely
membership and hospitality through discussion of the microbiome
revolution in science, and the daunting challenge of the
Anthropocene.
