An indispensable resource for exploring food and faith, this two-volume set offers information on food-related religious beliefs, customs, and practices from around the world.
• Provides up-to-date factual information, introduces concepts of food as being more than just nutrients, and enables an understanding of diverse religious traditions and the importance of food in people's lives
• Includes coverage of less well-known rituals and religions that are often skipped in world religion texts
• Presents material in a way that is accessible to readers without previous exposure to, or command of, sociological or anthropological language and concepts
"General readers at the high school level and above will appreciate the admirably clear and accurate writing. This richly informative work, introducing ties among food, culture, religion, and history, efficiently and accessibly adds to readers understanding of diverse religious traditions and provides a solid jumping-off point for further research." - Library Journal, Starred Review
