Mangiare lo spirito? Aspetti del cibo nella Bibbia

  • Raffaele Mantegazza

Abstract

The Bible provides us some metaphors, rules, stories about food. The materialistic dimension of biblical thought (focused on human body, a reality that is always seen as positive in the Book) considers food and eating as undeniable  dimensions of human relations with reality, with humankind and with God Himself. Exploring some aspects of food in the Bible from ad educational point of view provides us a new glance on religion and on the biblical way of thinking.
