The Lord's Table: The Meaning of Food in Early Judaism and Christianity
- Used Book in Good Condition
"Feeley-Harnik relies both on the general anthropology of food rules and other systems of classification and on the particular history of food imagery in post-exilic Judaism to provide a context for her analysis. Taking the last supper together with the crucifixion and resurrection, she finds a striking and thorough reversal of the symbols, values, and goals of the Jewish Passover ritual... The Lord's Table clearly demonstrates what anthropology can contribute to the recovery of the social world of early Christianity."
- Eugene V. Gallagher, Patristics
