But how does Scripture envision the people of God \u003ci\u003ebecoming \u003c\/i\u003ea community capable of following those commands? In \u003ci\u003eFormative Feasting\u003c\/i\u003e, Dr. Michael J. Rhodes\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003eargues that meals stand at the heart of Scripture's strategy for moral formation oriented towards justice and solidarity. To make this case, Rhodes brings together a constructive, theological account of moral formation through practice with rigorous exegesis of the Deuteronomic tithe-meal and Corinthian Lord's Supper. By drawing on virtue ethics, ritual studies, and socio-economic research on meals in the ancient Near East and Greco-Roman world, Rhodes both demonstrates that these meals intended to transform the individual and corporate character of the communities that practiced them, and uncovers the \"mechanics\" of moral formation embedded within them. The result is a book that models a partnership between theological ethics and theological interpretation that overcomes the oft-lamented gap between exegesis and ethics, with important implications for contemporary communities of faith.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cp\u003eFormative Feasting will be of special interest to researchers, students, and church leaders interested in moral formation and the Bible, as well as those interested in feasting and eating in Scripture.
