Subject: Food before the Fall |
Bible Note: Will we become vegetarians in the future? Not likely, Nolan, so long as the supply of Big Macs holds out!...... This subject of how the Bible treats of food and nutrition is both a fascinating and practical one. It is treated at some length in a book written by a member of my Sunday School class, Rex Russell, M.D. The book is called "What the Bible Says About Healthy Living" published by Regal Books, a division of Gospel Light. Rex addresses a number of topics and answers many questions from the perspective of a medical man of profound faith and trust in God and His word. Anyone who has ever puzzled over the whys and wherefores of the dietary laws of Scripture will find many of their questions answered in this book. Dr. Russell gives the sound medical basis for them and shows that they are quite in step with the findings of modern human nutrition. It's a two-thumbs-up book. --Hank |
