In ancient Israel the production of food was a basic concern of almost every        Israelite. Consequently, there are few pages in the Old Testament that do not        mention food, and food provides some of the most important social, political and        religious symbols in the biblical text. Not Bread Alone is the first detailed and        wide-ranging examination of food and its symbolism in the Old Testament and the        world of ancient Israel. Many of these symbols are very well-known, such as        theforbidden fruit in the Garden of Eden, the abominable pig and the land flowing        with milk and honey. Nathan MacDonald demonstrates that the breadth biblical        symbolism associated with food reaches beyond these celebrated examples, providing a        collection of interrelated studies that draw on work on food inanthropology or other        historical disciplines. The studies maintain sensitivity to the literary nature of        the text as well as the many historical-critical questions that arise when studying        it.Topics examined include: the nature and healthiness of the ancient Israelite        diet; the relationship between food and memory in Deuteronomy; the confusion of        food, sex and warfare in Judges; the place of feasting in the Israelite monarchy;        the literary motif of divine judgement at the table; the use of food in articulating        Israelite identity in the post-exilic period. The concluding chapter shows how some        of these Old Testament concerns find resonance in the New Testament.
