At Table With Jesus (Student/Study Guide)

Jesus used food and mealtimes to build (or destroy) community and to teach about the Father, Son, and Kingdom. Some of theses events include the wedding, at Cana, the calls to Levi and to Zacchaeus, the banquet parables, eating with Pharisees and with persons of ill repute, and the miraculous feeding with fish and bread. This book deals with the concepts of miracle meals, Eucharist, hospitality, etiquette, clean and unclean, and others. This 8-session study will help participants see how the simple act of eating became a crucial element in Jesus’ ministry, and they will learn to appreciate the Eucharistic quality of daily life and the practice of hospitality.
