| Summary: | From the outset, MacDonald’s Not Bread Alone calls attention to the ubiquity of food throughout the Old Testament. Despite the frequency with which the Old Testament authors mention food, however, MacDonald frames his study by claiming that a significant gap exists in scholarship on this topic: ‘Despite the importance of food to the Old Testament authors, the subject has received surprisingly little attention from modern biblical scholars’ (p. 2). MacDonald subsequently offers a helpful outline of the critical discourse on food in the Old Testament in order to establish the niche that his project will occupy. |
