**Broken Bread and Broken Bones: The Lord's Supper and World Hunger** by Joseph A. Grassi tackles the uncomfortable gap between communion tables and empty plates worldwide. This thought-provoking theological work examines how Christian communion rituals should inspire real action against global hunger, challenging readers to move beyond symbolic bread-breaking to actual bread-sharing.
Grassi weaves together biblical scholarship, social justice, and practical theology to explore why the church's most sacred meal should spark urgent concern for the world's most vulnerable people. He argues that celebrating the Lord's Supper while ignoring widespread starvation represents a fundamental contradiction of Christian values.
Perfect for progressive Christians, seminary students, social justice advocates, and anyone questioning how faith translates into action. This isn't your typical feel-good devotional—it's a bold call to align religious practice with humanitarian responsibility.
