Keeping the Feast: Metaphors for the Meal

"This book about what nourishes us: food, faith, family, and friends, and how all of those elements are essential ingredients of Communion-in fact how every meal of our lives holds an invitation to the Sacred Meal.

As I say in the opening chapter, 'What the Gospel writers don't seem to scrimp on are stories of Jesus eating, or at least stories about Jesus and food.  He eats, feeds, talks about food, and even call himself the Bread of Life, right down to the last night in the Upper Room...where they sat around the table and he wrapped it all up with a meal-The Meal-as his ultimate metaphor."
