Publisher Synopsis
'... an important and timely book, profound and challenging ... Truly a tract for the times.' Tim Gorringe, St Luke's Professor of Theology, University of Exeter 'No reader will be able to take a mouthful of food in the same light again after reading this beautifully written and original book. It touches the heart of religious sensibility around food and invites a transformative response.' Celia Deane-Drummond, University of Chester 'This is a beautifully written book on a subject that is of profound import for Christian witness to a pagan consumer culture that shows increasingly callous disrespect for the Creation.' Michael Northcott, University of Edinburgh 'Theology at its best: lucid, full of humility, drawing boldly on a wide range of sources, and making innovative connections with a subject vital to all human beings. Warmly recommended!' Christopher Southgate, University of Exeter 'Food and Faith is a delightful book, wonderfully written, with much to ponder.' Regent's Reviews Read more...
