The way in which religious people eat reflects not only their understanding of food and religious practice but also their conception of society and their place within it. This anthology considers theological foodways, identity foodways, negotiated foodways, and activist foodways in the United States, Canada, and the Caribbean. Original essays explore the role of food and eating in defining theologies and belief structures, creating personal and collective identities, establishing and challenging boundaries and borders, and helping to negotiate issues of community, religion, race, and nationality. Contributors consider food practices and beliefs among Christians, Jews, Muslims, and Buddhists, as well as members of new religious movements, Afro-Caribbean religions, interfaith families, and individuals who consider food itself a religion. They traverse a range of geographic regions, from the Southern Appalachian Mountains to North America's urban centers, and span historical periods from the colonial era to the present. These essays contain a variety of methodological and theoretical perspectives, emphasizing the embeddedness of food and eating practices within specific religions and the embeddedness of religion within society and culture. The volume makes an excellent resource for scholars hoping to add greater depth to their research and for instructors seeking a thematically rich, vivid, and relevant tool for the classroom.
Illustrates how the Bible and Christianity have understood eating practices such as vegetarianism and explores the role of diet as it relates to Christian discipleship.
Olin Idol acquired an interest in health and nutrition over 30 years ago while serving in the military. At that time he began using a multitude of vitamin and mineral supplements, and distilled water while continuing to eat the typical American Diet. This regime was maintained faithfully until the early 90's when he read a book by Rev. George H. Malkmus entitled "Why Christians Get Sick". The impact of this book on his lifestyle and diet was tremendous -- the dietary supplements were tossed aside as was the Standard American Diet (SAD). He embraced the "Hallelujah Diet" and lifestyle. While he had no major physical problem himself, the little aches and pains associated with aging, life-long sinus problems and headaches, and stomach problems simply disappeared. Olin had accepted Christ as his personal Saviour at the age of 14. After his discharge from the military in 1972, he attended college where he graduated with a degree in Religion with the intent of entering the ministry. Just prior to enrolling in seminary a chain of events in his personal life seemed to close the door to a full time ministry. While taking advantage of various opportunities to preach and teach it wasn't until after attending the Hallelujah Acres' Health Ministers training program that he developed his own health ministry. He began teaching others the basic essential of the "Hallelujah Diet" and lifestyle while at the same time continuing his personal studies in nutrition. Ultimately he earned his N.D. degree and subsequently attained Certification as a Nutritional Consultant (C.N.C.) by The American Association of Nutritional Consultants.
