At a time when the media is looking into our diet and sounding alarm bells, it is only right to examine Scripture to see what it teaches us on this subject. And we are not surprised to discover that meals have a fundamental place: meals, sacrificial meals, Passover meals, multiplications of wine, loaves and fishes, Last Supper and last supper, meals with the Risen One, messianic feast, the Meals are privileged moments where God's alliance with men is remembered, and where they forge bonds of fraternity.
Like all human activities, drinking and eating is therefore not a banal activity unrelated to the Christian faith: it is done “before God”. This book explores Scripture, from the food prohibitions of the Law to the freedom of Jesus, including fasting, in search of the implications of the Gospel for our eating behavior.
