Item Description...
The book asks, What food did the ancient Israelites eat and how much of it did they consume? It explores five main types of evidence relevant to this diet examination:
- The biblical text
- Archaeological data
- Comparative evidence from the ancient world
- Comparative evidence from modern anthropological research
- Modern scientific knowledge of geography and nutrition
The book delves into archaeological finds from Iron Age Israel and evaluates the variety and healthiness of the diet. It reflects on claims made by popular contemporary 'biblical diets' and analyses a number of books calling for a return to 'biblical eating'. |
