The Food and Feasts of the Apostle Paul

The New Testament is filled with stories of the Apostle Paul and the many feasts he attended—from extravagant wedding banquets to simple meals. This book, which Booklist calls "absorbing," takes readers inside the food culture of the 1st century, exploring its significance and offering readers recipes to recreate their own tastes of these feasts.

The Food and Feasts of the Apostle Paul takes readers inside the world of the early Christian church through a new lens—what people ate (and didn’t eat). The early church encompassed diverse communities and people, and understanding its food helps us understand both the worship and culture of these people, as well as their sources of conflict. Each chapter introduces readers to a different community or church Paul visited or started, explores one or two key foods, and offers recipes that reflect each community. Recipes range from simple to complex, from snack to feast. The Food and Feasts of the Apostle Paul aims to help readers more fully experience the diverse cultures of the early Christian church to better understand the teachings of Jesus, Paul, and early Christian leaders.
