Reviews

This is a stimulating and methodologically sensitive study of an area that deserves further investigation K. Moller, Journal for the Study of the Old Testament Not Bread Alone covers an incredibly broad range of texts and successfully provides bite-sized observations on food's various roles throughout the Old Testament corpus. The breadth of his study undoubtedly awakens the appetite for more study in this fruitful area. Peter Altmann Journal of Hebrew Scriptures
