Opis

Food - what we eat, how much we eat, how it is produced and prepared, and its cultural and ecological significance - is an increasingly significant topic not only for scholars, but for all of us. This book is a systematic and historical assessment of Christian attitudes to food and its role in shaping Christian identity.
