Through the lens of social-scientific criticism, Christian Fasting:
Biblical and Evangelical Perspectives explores the social,
cultural, and religious significance of fasting in the
first-century Mediterranean world. Old Testament precedents, as
well as Mesopotamian, Greek, and Roman influences are examined to
form the backdrop for a detailed interpretation of each fasting
text in the New Testament. Contemporary evangelical fasting
literature is also discussed and analyzed. Finally, H.S. Mathews
proposes a solution for reconciling a biblical interpretation of
fasting with contemporary evangelical practice.
