By analyzing Old and New Testament texts on fasting, Christian Fasting: Biblical and Evangelical Perspectives reveals the social, cultural, and religious significance of this practice in the first-century Mediterranean world. It then compares the biblical representation of fasting with fasting in contemporary Evangelical literature and practice.
Through the lens of social-scientific criticism, Christian Fasting: Biblical and Evangelical Perspectives explores the social, cultural, and religious significance of fasting in the first-century Mediterranean world. Old Testament precedents, as well as Mesopotamian, Greek, and Roman influences are examined to form the backdrop for a detailed interpretation of each fasting text in the New Testament. Contemporary evangelical fasting literature is also discussed and analyzed. Finally, H.S. Mathews proposes a solution for reconciling a biblical interpretation of fasting with contemporary evangelical practice.
