At the Table 7 — Public Christianity as space making

At the Table Week 2 — Feasting and Fasting

At the Table Week 2 — Feasting and Fasting

In the Temptation of Jesus and his announcement of Jubilee in Nazareth we see two tables emerging; we can use our hunger to direct us towards God's Jubilee feast; life in the kingdom of Jesus or grab hold of 'bread alone' and satisfy ourselves with the table offered by the tempter.

At the Table: Meals with Jesus in Luke's Gospel 1
