Good Food

Jennifer Ayres takes the reader on an eye-opening tour of what it takes to have good, sustainable, nutritious food. This is a book that whets the appetite for justice and makes you want to get your hands dirty.

~William P. Brown, William Marcellus McPheeters Professor of Old Testament, Columbia Theological Seminary

Preachers and homileticians will find Good Food to be informative, persuasive, and pragmatic for crafting theological responses in classrooms, pulpits, and the public sphere to food insecurity at multiple registers.

~Gerald C. Liu, The Theological School, Drew University, Homiletic

Caught in a bad system yet hoping for an eschatological feast, we must both endure and repair, repent and rejoice, theologize more honestly, and act more faithfully. Ayres shows us the way.

~D Brent Laytham, The Christian Century

Good Food is a wonderful example of a practical theology finely tuned to faith in everyday life! Jennifer Ayres not only helps us see food as overflowing with theological meaning, she counters our temptation to despair over food injustice by offering realistic strategies for resistance and transformation.
