In recent years, many Christians have developed an unscriptural approach to food. Now, we can sin with food in many ways—by not sharing it, by eating way too much of it, by throwing it across the table—but we do not sin by bowing our heads over it, saying grace with true gratitude in our hearts, and tucking in. Our current issues are not ones of taste or quality, but of phobias and pharisaism. Sharp-edged but funny, Confessions of a Food Catholic tackles threats to Christian table fellowship, the know-it-all pride of newfangled kosher rules, and the displaced moralism that makes "organic" and "natural" the signs of righteousness and disdains the brethren who buy their beef at Stuffmart. A great starting point for those interested in a biblical approach to food.

I write in order to make the little voices in my head go away. Thus far it hasn't worked.
