By examining the Biblical customs connected with food, Juengst discovers new meaning in familiar passages and presents six theological themes related to food and feasting. Palmer says that Juengst shows "how food is woven as intricately as faith into the entire fabric of our lives".

Short introduction to Christian Hospitality & Food in Scripture...,
By BRIAN A. O'DELL "njsquarebear" (Cliffside Park, New Jersey United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Breaking Bread: The Spiritual Significance of Food (Paperback)
This slim volume offers a good, short introduction to Christian hospitality and food. The chapters include: (1) Biblical Foods and Customs. (2) Stewardship: Food as God's Good Gift. (3) Hospitality: Expression of Grace. (4) Bonding: Strangers No Longer. (5) Compassion: The Great Inasmuch. (6) Celebration: The Joyful Feast. (7) Hope and Restoration: No More Tears. Plus a short Bibliography and Index of Scripture References. Each chapter also include 3 - 4 activities which can be talked about / done in one's family or small group. While there are other books on the market which do explore this topic more in depth and at length, I think this book has a lot to offer if you want to explore this topic in a short amount of time... esp. in a small group.
