Episode 56, Conversation with Sean Johnson on Food, Foodies, and Feasting

Pastor Brito talks with Mr. Sean Johnson on his fantastic essay, Are the Culinary Arts Liberal Arts? 

The essay seeks to make an argument for treating cooking as an essential part of a Christian’s education in its classical sense, as well as the experiential day-to-day of Christian living. Sean details the purpose of food in its creational and post-fall environment and also elaborates on how eating prepares us for the Marriage Supper of the Lamb. If I said this interview was “delicious,” some might retort that such a statement is cheesy and corny, but I think it’s because they haven’t tasted the ingredients of this conversation. So, bring the bread and wine, and let’s roll.

In a deeper sense, my act of making—every human act of making—is an imitation of God’s own creative act. -Sean Johnson
