S 83 Fasting: A Fresh Look at an Old Discipline

Description   Despite it being central to Christian Why don't Christians fast? Jesus assumed that his followers would fast, and there is a rich tradition of the practice down through church history. But a narrow understanding of fasting as total abstinence for 24 hours has led to the practice being sidelined as something for 'professionals'. This fresh study looks again at the practice and its relevance in a society which has contradictory attitudes to eating, discipline and self-image. It shows how fasting, understood broadly as limiting what we eat or drink, can speak powerfully and even become an exciting path to spiritual growth and well-being.   Details   Grove code: S83 Author: David Bolster and Anna de Lange ISBN: 1851745149 Publication date: November 2002 Other formats available: Go to ebook version Go to audio book version Online resources: - Online reviews: 'A clear, helpful, positive introduction to the idea of "giving up."''
