Dining with the Ancients

 

Imagine sitting down to dinner with your friends around a low, oddly-shaped table (triclinium),the room illuminated by ancient flickering oil lamps. The table is set with a sumptuous feast straight from the pages of the Holy Bible. You are transported back thousands of years, you are now seated at a banquet that would have been completely familiar to Abraham, Moses, David, and Jesus. You learn to pray in Hebrew. You have no spoons, forks or knives only your own fingers. As you dine, you observe ancient meal customs and table manners from the times of the Patriarchs to 1st century Palestine. Step by step you are walked through the rich significance of Biblical meals and their amazing spiritual application to modern everyday life. Suddenly your mind is brimming over with an exciting new understanding of the Bible, and your heart is challenged to walk more deeply in the love of the Master. You are dining with the Ancients...
