Good starting place if…
You want a Christian theological account of eating that connects land, agriculture, creatures, gratitude, hospitality, labor, and the health of communities.
Know before you begin…
Wirzba writes from Christian agrarian and ecological theology, with normative claims about creation and faithful eating. Access to land, money, time, culturally appropriate food, and ethical supply chains is unequal, so responsibility cannot rest on consumers alone.
