From Feasting To Fasting

0 - Default Title
Description
This study discusses texts, written between the first and fifth centuries AD, that address Christian conduct with respect to food, eating and fasting, by setting them into the historical and social contexts in which their authors lived. From Feasting to Fasting, the Evolution of a Sin traces the early history of conflicting attitudes to food. It will be of interest not only to historians of late antiquity, but also to those searching for historical roots of modern attitudes.
