About this book
From biblical times to today, Christ's gospel has gone through real stomachs to nourish people with fullness, fellowship, abundance, and joy. By weaving together scriptural reflection, compelling stories, best practices, and satisfying recipes, Food Theology introduces a gospel-centered food theology and provides a user-friendly "how to" guide for those who want to explore and deepen the role of food in their mission and ministry.
Food Theology invites eaters to a consideration of food itself as a primary communicator of God's love, grace, and sustenance for all creation. While many people know that food is a gift from God, the rich insights of food theology have not been widely shared with congregational audiences and church practitioners in a single, digestible resource. Lisi and Lohrmann draw upon theological grounding and ministry experience to introduce readers to the blessings of intentionally connecting food and faith.
Each chapter of this book provides readers with clear, practical, and adaptable suggestions for how to expand existing food ministries or start new ones. Through easy-to-follow recipes and guides, readers will be able to sense for themselves the exciting possibilities that come with increased attention to local food ministries and eating in community. Food Theology shifts our attention to the transformative power of food, giving readers the knowledge and resources to practice sharing God's goodness.
