Description

What do the fields, rivers, and streams that provide food have to do with the God who created them?

How do we become at home in this world where so many hunger for food, for companionship, or for the presence of God?"Scripture is also a feast." As an invitation to feast at the table of God's word, The Hunger for Home explores the deepest human longings for home through the simple ingredients of bread, water, wine, and stories.

Matthew Croasmun and Miroslav Volf read the meals of the Gospel of Luke as stories of God eating with God's people.

By making a common home with us in this way, God turns all our meals into invitations to eat in God's home—a home with a seat open for all who are willing.

No longer is bread simply fuel for getting through the day, but also a call to be present to the agricultural workers, grocers, chefs, friends, and strangers with whom food connects us: everyone God is calling to the banquet.

As Croasmun and Volf show, Luke gives us an image of creation at home by bringing God into the home, as it was always meant to be.
