Abstract: This book provides a comprehensive theological framework for assessing the significance of eating. Drawing on diverse theological, philosophical, and anthropological insights, it offers fresh ways to evaluate food production and consumption practices as they are being worked out in today's industrial food economy. Unlike books that focus primarily on vegetarianism and hunger-related concerns, this book broadens the scope of consideration to include the sacramental character of eating, the deep significance of hospitality, the meaning of death and sacrifice, the Eucharist as the place of inspiration and orientation, the importance of saying grace, and the possibility of eating in heaven. Throughout, eating is presented as a way of enacting fidelity between persons, between people and fellow creatures, and between people and Earth. Food and Faith demonstrates that eating is of profound economic, moral, and spiritual significance. Revised throughout, this edition includes a new introduction and two chapters, as well as updated bibliography. The additions add significantly to the core idea of creaturely membership and hospitality through discussion of the microbiome revolution in science, and the daunting challenge of the Anthropocene.

TL;DR: The first area of emphasis is called "Having the Conversation" as discussed by the authors, which is to have the conversation with people about the role that spirituality may or may not play in their lives as well as the role it could possibly play.
Abstract: Some view the spiritual path as a journey that involves coming to terms with the meaning of life and the universe. Others think of spirituality in terms of their relationship to the divine. This relationship is explored in many ways and involves unseen elements beyond our day-to-day reality such as: transcendent purpose, universal force, God, field of love or creative spirit. For others, wonder is central to their spirituality; First Nation’s People speak about “The Great Mystery.” Still others emphasize the emptiness of the concepts that are used to describe the transcendent; words and concepts are depicted as fingers pointing to the moon but not the moon itself. We are diverse in our spiritual orientations and some of us have a well-defined story about what spirituality is; some of us do not. Some receive guidance from a particular spiritual perspective and may be pretty clear about the importance of God or Jesus in their lives, and some of us are scared by these very words themselves. There is a structure to the course that will guide us as we explore and learn together. The first area of emphasis is called: Having the Conversation. Many people we work with find that spirituality is a great source of strength, hope, healing, inner peace and life wisdom. On the macro level, spirituality may be a primary force in the forging of community action or the development of services. As responsible social workers, we need to have the conversation with people about the role that spirituality may or may not be playing in their lives as well as the role that it could possibly play. This conversation is scary for many of us and we have probably received little preparation to engage in this way. Some of us are alienated from our parents’ spiritual traditions. This alienation perhaps stems from religious rituals that seemed empty. Some of us are deeply spiritual and religious and we are afraid of imposing our beliefs – so we keep our mouths shut about anything spiritual. Some of us are of a minority religious tradition and feel too ignorant or intimidated to engage with someone who, for example, may be Christian. Some of us may be comfortable and effective with the whole matter and those classmates can lead us.

TL;DR: The subject of as discussed by the authors is the historical problems of an extremely intricate nature arising from the theologically close association of the doctrine of the Holy Spirit with the Holy Trinity; but others of which are rooted in a number of more particular controversies in which the Greek Fathers were involved concerning theHoly Spirit.
Abstract: The subject of this paper abounds in historical problems of an extremely intricate nature—some of which arise through the theologically close association of the doctrine of the Holy Spirit with the doctrine of the Holy Trinity; but others of which are rooted in a number of more particular controversies in which the Greek Fathers were involved concerning the Holy Spirit. Among the latter are to be found such questions as the precise identification of the persons against whom many of the Greek writings were directed, for example, who the ‘Tropici’ were, with whom Athanasius deals in the Letters to Serapion , whether ‘Pneumatomachi’ was a generic term used to describe a variety of different heretics, or a proper name referring to an identifiable group existing in one particular place, whether Macedonius was a Macedonian, and so on. Included in the intricate historical problems raised in our period, there is that of accounting for the revival towards the middle of the fourth century of an interest in the doctrine of the Holy Spirit— whether it was due to the developing influence of asceticism, or simply a reaction to a latter-day Arianism working itself out belatedly in heresy concerning the Holy Spirit, or more subtly, whether it was due to a necessity felt by the Church to give substance to the Person and Work of the Holy Spirit, now that the doctrine of the Trinity had replaced the doctrine of the Logos as her central and dominant doctrine.
