Stations of the banquet
Book Description
In this thoughtful exploration, Cathy C. Campbell invites readers to discover how the Christian narrative of salvation unfolds as a profound story about food and nourishment. Through careful examination of Scripture, she reveals how biblical traditions speak directly to contemporary challenges surrounding food justice and equity.
Campbell demonstrates how ancient texts offer more than historical insight—they provide a framework for understanding the pressing issues of our time while shaping our vision for meaningful action. Her approach connects theological wisdom with practical ministry, showing how individuals and faith communities can authentically live out the Gospel's call to address food-related injustices.
This resource serves dual purposes as both a study guide and prayer companion, offering readers tools for deeper reflection on how faith intersects with daily concerns about hunger, abundance, and social responsibility. Campbell draws from her ministerial experience to illustrate pathways for translating spiritual convictions into concrete responses to food insecurity and systemic inequity.
The author presents Scripture not as distant doctrine but as living guidance that illuminates root causes of contemporary problems while pointing toward hope-filled solutions. Through this lens, readers encounter familiar biblical stories with fresh eyes, discovering how themes of hospitality, provision, and justice weave throughout the Christian tradition.
For those seeking to integrate their spiritual beliefs with social action, this work provides both theological grounding and practical direction for engaging food justice as an essential expression of faith.
