Well; it is full of knowledge with some recipes dispersed. I cannot wait to try some of these - they sound delicious! As for the book itself; it would make an excellent group Bible study! There is even a Bible study guide for group discussion if you Google it. This book just may change the way I eat and has definitely changed how I see food in our world today!1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Study the Bible through FoodBy Penelope ... RDExcellent resource. This is a well written book that delves into the historical perspective of foods and traditions using archeological; biblical and other documents to support the foods/recipes presented. The authors have skillfully woven passages from The Old Testament and New Testament (and other period accounts) that supports the ingredients used; the traditions that surround feasts and festivals; such as Passover and wedding feasts. They easily put you in the fields; homes; courtyards and around the fires and hearth of the 'kitchen'. The survival of the family in yester-year depended on the production from the field and then turning the raw ingredients into food for the family; today; many do not realize the struggle to maintain nutritional status for daily needs and to 'seed' the next generation. The recipes are do-able for today and their suggestions to have parties and gatherings with the 'themes' they present are very inviting and help you engage with the foods and feasts of Jesus. To me; this is a must have.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. I love this bookBy Kate DaltonI love this book! A little light on actual recipes; it is heavier on information and history and of course scriptures that tie to food. A great background starting point for anyone interested in first century food of this area. Great inspiration for eating basic healthy simple food. But with plenty of nutrition taste and soul.
