After reading and rereading the Bible, the author made notes on the main foods that appear in the Holy Book and studied the eating habits of the Hebrews at various points in their history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eThe 73 books that make up the Old and New Testaments of the Bible cover a wide range of topics, narrating the origins of the universe, animal and human life, the trajectories of the Hebrew people and other ancient peoples, the stories of Jesus Christ, prophets and sages, kings and tyrants, and also containing songs, hymns, proverbs, poetry, epistles, and prayers. Besides the religious approach, historical, anthropological, geographical, and economic perspectives are also common. All of these, no doubt, have been extensively researched by scholars worldwide and, to some extent, are already exhausted. Hence the surprise and interest in finding in \u003cem\u003eGod's Table\u003c\/em\u003e a completely new gateway into the Holy Book: food and everything that surrounds it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eGod's Table\u003c\/em\u003e , not only are references to the main foods and ingredients of biblical times listed, organized, and analyzed — cereals, meats, fruits, spices, olive oil, honey, milk, etc. — but also those linked to the utensils used in their preparation, the rituals of which they were an important part, the spiritual meanings of each one, among various practical and symbolic aspects related to them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cem\u003eGod's Table\u003c\/em\u003e has the rare merit of combining originality, erudition, and fluency, as it is exceptionally clear and well-written. These virtues, applied to a touchstone of universal culture, make it a book of inestimable importance, for, as Dom José Tolentino Mendonça states in the preface, it is the \"'voice of food' (...) that helps us understand the past, present, and future of civilizations.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47159523639548,"sku":"9786555875591","price":89.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/258162fc6a962f63b9bd5315392a7d0b.jpg?v=1778319187"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.record.com.br\/en\/collections\/maria-lecticia-monteiro-cavalcanti.oembed","provider":"Editora Record","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
