A Table in the Wilderness

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Stinson’s volume does much more than simply remind the reader of the significance of food in an agrarian culture; she explores ‘the multi-dimensionality of food’ and how those various dimensions are employed to great rhetorical effect in the biblical text. Stinson’s methodological approach opens new vistas for reading Psalm 78, but even more, her work charts an exciting path for future research on the rhetoric associated with food in the Hebrew Bible. An insightful and engaging work!”

God in the Desert

Prayer & Spiritual Formation

“In this beautifully written book, Noel Forlini Burt engages in conversation with a wide range of voices, both ancient and modern, as she invites the reader into a rich and compelling reflection on Scripture. Her work, however, is not simply a rehearsal of a biblical theme. More profoundly, it is an invitation to the wilderness, the 'place where we learn that God is the one before whom we are all laid bare.' In this moment when Christianity has been so culturally co-opted, we need a book that calls us back to the places of deep faithful formation. This is that book.”
