Book Review: Nutrition in Biblical Times

"The bible is a storehouse of wisdom on foods and nutrition," writes Ruth Rosevear in Nutrition in Biblical Times. She adds: "It's up to us now to learn from the successes and failures and apply the lessons to our own lives." The author has devoted many years and much effort searching for information about foods and nutrition in the Biblical world. She has relied on texts from Holy Scripture, as well as modern scholars who have helped to interpret ambiguous passages. Where passages are subject to various interpretations, Rosevear skillfully guides the reader to the most plausible explanations. Best of all, with her solid grounding in the work of Weston Price, Rosevear pays careful attention to the biblical uses of the foods that provide fat-soluble activators - fish, organ meats and insects.
