Thank you for all the delicious products and for all you have done to support people in eating more plants & less animals ❤️” Sustainability at heart Augustine’s meditations on the relation of bodily sensation, including the pleasure of taste, to the knowledge of God are some of the most lyrically, even luxuriously, styled passages of the Confessions. 24 “But what do I love, in loving you?” he asks. Not sensory experiences or remembered sensations of agreeable light, melodies, aromas, “honey on the tongue,” and welcome physical embrace. Rather, “a certain light, and a certain voice, and a certain fragrance, and a certain food, and a certain embrace” are recognized as the “you” to whom and about whom Augustine confesses. Within God, “something has flavor that gluttony doesn’t diminish, and something clings that the full indulgence of desire doesn’t sunder” (10,8). Augustine recognizes analogues and then further negates the similarities and amplifies the differences. His rhetorical negation and amplification parallel ascetic practices, especially of fasting and celibacy, and ascent to God in prayer and contemplation. As hunger and sexual desire are transmuted to longing for God, they are first increased and not satiated. “I tasted you, and now I’m starving and parched; you touched me, and I burst into flame with desire for your peace” (10,38). The soul is stretched away from the earthly food chain and beyond anything that could be measured by gluttony; it blazes (self-immolates?) out of nature and history into God. 25 “Once I cling to you with all I am, I’ll no longer have pain or hardship. My life will be alive when the whole of it is full of you” (10,39). This is the “miraculous fullness” to which Augustine refers in the passage about the divine destruction of food, the stomach, and “the irritation of necessity” (10,8). Thisis where the recipe gets its name from. They are also known as water spinach, Chinese spinach, Kang Kong, Ong Choy, river spinach, river morning glory, water morning glory, swamp cabbage, and Chinese watercress. How does glory relate to enhancing life? To consider what might enhance—or, conversely, endanger—life, one must be able to picture “life” capaciously and critically. As Czech philosopher Erazim Kohák has observed, “It is much easier to decry our dehumanization than to reclaim our humanity.” 1 Living creatures and life systems must not only be able to resist dangerously subtle, coopting, and sometimes vicious threats, but also to “reclaim” their full glory. The notions of “resilience” and “grit,” developed in risk management literature, psychology, and now by theologians and other scholars, make important, necessary contributions to this task. But we as scholars and as persons also have to consider what it means for human and other vulnerable creatures and life systems to be fully alive—to be transformed toward aliveness, not only to resist and be resilient to damage and threats of endangerment, very real as they are.

But as expected, there is disappointment. With some fans even questioning if it’s a belated April Fools joke. The campaign itself is comprised of a 20” video ad, showcasing some of the brands signature offerings, such as its Quarter Pounders, with a classic 90s hip-hip vibe.

In His goodness, God created a way for us to bear good fruit in His name and for His glory. Tragedy rips through our world at an astonishingly rapid rate. How do we “taste and see” that God is good amidst it? “The Christian faith is not one of blindness,” writes Dr. David Hawkins. “We are told to test the Lord, to reach out to Him and see if He won’t satisfy our deep longings …we can test (our faith), touch it, feel it and know in our inner being that this faith offers us something incredible.” God is not afraid of our questions. He isn’t asking us to pretend everything is OK. Ask, test, and get real with God. 6. Be Consumed with the LORD The poem also attests to the “glory” of grown children who keep watchful vigil and, in lines I didn’t cite, to a “dazzling toddler.” When asked about “vegetables,” he says “eggplant,” and “chrysanthemum” for “flower,” displaying the full reach of his young linguistic powers. Go any farther, though, and he would surely tumble over his large words into incoherence. Incoherence haunts other realities in this “autumn passage,” including giant “September zucchini” and “other things too big”—such as a nation struggling with the immensity of “vanished skyscrapers.” Likewise, the toddler’s dying grandmother is at full capacity. Her body, her life, her person, cannot undergo more without turning into something else. We’ve already proven we can launch great tasting plant-based alternatives that respond to what consumers want. But we’ve also seen the Richmond brand is uniquely positioned to engage new shoppers, encouraging them to try plant-based products they wouldn’t normally put in their basket,” he added. In this poem and in general, glory signals a threshold where life seems to take on a magnificence that is not self-generated/generating. Correlatively, glory signals a threshold beyond which life may become diminished, begin to unravel, or become endangered. A ripe pear, fragrant with delicate sweetness, is also on the cusp of decay. Its glorious taste depends on that threshold, not on the defeat of the life cycle. The poem’s “dazzling toddler” won’t become more glorious when he masters the use of “eggplant” and “chrysanthemum”—but the full aliveness of his post-toddler self may become manifest in different ways. As we enter a holiday season filled with feasts and festivities, Kristine A. Culp (University of Chicago), in conversation with John Calvin, invites us to consider the relationship between theology and the food we enjoy, the relationship between glory and gastronomy. In this essay, Culp considers how metaphors of taste found in Calvin’s writing on the Christian life offer one way of approaching experiences of glory and “aliveness.” It explores how experiencing the glory of living things involves sensory intensification and complexity, perceptual attunement, a felt experience of value, and the further intensification through recollection and recognition, thereby seeming, metaphorically speaking, to slow time and open worlds.

By contrast, Augustine, writing at the turn of the fourth century, stayed close to his Stoic teachers on this matter. He sought to use the goods of this life but not enjoy them ( utor non frui). “When I’m going to take alimentation, I should resort to it the way I resort to medication,” he resolves. He grants that “we restore the everyday damage to the body by eating and drinking,” which is “much of the time an agreeable experience”—an experience that Brillat-Savarin later points to as a baseline of shared humanity. But Augustine’s baseline is set beyond mortal life, “when this perishable body will clothe itself in everlasting imperishability,” a time when, he envisions, God will “destroy food and the stomach, killing our need with miraculous fullness.” That vision of imperishability and the cessation of desire affects Augustine’s evaluation of hunger and thirst. “As things are now, the necessity of eating is sweet, and I fight daily against that sweetness so that I’m not taken prisoner by it. I fight a daily battle through fasts….” Augustine pinpoints the crossover from “the irritation of needfulness” (hunger and thirst!) to satisfaction as the place where “the snare of sensual desire is waiting for me.” What makes the crossover seem so dangerous to Augustine is the ambiguity of when that line is crossed: “often it’s unclear whether the essential care of the body is asking for help, or hedonistic self-deceit is slyly demanding that I cater to her.” 15 We’re here to give shoppers something delicious to look forward to and to make plant-based sandwiches, wraps and salads something to shout about.

The sixteenth-century theologian was particularly suspicious of the deceptions of visual culture and of precepts about higher religious life. Yet, he was also a humanist and reformer dedicated to teaching theology as an art of living and to reconstructing ecclesial and civil life alongside a thorough-going critique of idolatry. In this section, I trace what may be an unexpected theme in Calvin, — particularly of “sweet taste”—and how it relates to the satisfaction of need (hunger), the sensory perception of glory, the capacity of things to bear aliveness, and to sanctification as vivification. 3
