Jesus for Farmers and Fishers - by Gary Paul Nabhan (Hardcover)

Jesus for Farmers and Fishers by Gary Paul Nabhan is a groundbreaking book that explores the parables of Jesus through the lens of food and agriculture.

Drawing on his extensive knowledge as an agrarian and ethnobotanist, Nabhan offers a fresh perspective on the ways in which Jesus interacted with farmers and fishers in ancient Israel, and how these interactions can inform our understanding of food justice today. Through vivid descriptions of life in first-century Galilee, Nabhan brings to life the people and places that Jesus encountered, highlighting the profound ways in which Jesus showed compassion and empathy for those struggling with food insecurity and economic inequality.

By examining the parables through this lens, Nabhan shows how Jesus' teachings can be applied to modern-day issues of food justice, and how we can work towards a more sustainable and equitable food system. With contributions from leading scholars in the fields of biblical studies, environmental history, and agroecology, Jesus for Farmers and Fishers is a must-read for anyone interested in food justice, agriculture, and the intersection of faith and ecology.
