Jung, L. Shannon. Food for Life: The Spirituality and Ethics of Eating. Dubuque, Iowa, US: Augsburg Fortress Publishers, 2004
Recommended By: Center for Theology and LandTo Acquire Contact: Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Super Book Deals Notes: "Shannon Jung addresses how food disorders keep us from fully delighting in the life God intended for us. Jung recognizes that these disorders are a product of global, cultural and interpersonal disorders, not simply an individual’s issue to be dealt with in isolation. Through this examination he attempts to explain why people become disordered and how, through faith, Christian practices, and being intentional about activities such as gardening and cooking, they can redirect their desires and lives toward a healthier order of living. Jung sets out to help readers discover greater joy in their lives by finding delight and joy in eating. Eating and sharing a meal are seen not merely as a mundane activity but rather a spiritual practice that is transformative for individuals and the world. By examining Biblical texts and theological tradition, Jung establishes a Christian ideal for food and eating, then explores how most eating patterns fail to reach this ideal."
