�Cornucorpia� may seem out of place in describing a book on fasting, but that�s what this volume is. It combines biblical interpretation, historical analysis, and theological reasoning to furnish a full and challenging account of an ancient Christian practice. Just as important, the author provides a framework for truly Christian fasting today. In an age of obesity and self-indulgence--from which many long for deliverance-- this is a study worthy of diligent attention and wide circulation.

Here is an academically grounded, theologically insightful, Christ-centered study of fasting that carefully moves through all the relevant passages in both Old and New Testaments, then surveys various periods of church history, and then draws balanced, well-supported conclusions with special reference to the doctrines of sanctification and longing for Christ�s return. This is a significant, ground-breaking study on a much-neglected topic.
