About this audiobook
“Food offered in religious settings has challenged Christians since the days of the apostles, and the question continues to confront believers in many cultures today. In this insightful book, Dr. Venkat Potana examines this important subject with biblical depth, historical understanding, and pastoral wisdom. Rather than offering simplistic answers, he carefully guides readers through Scripture, exploring the theology of food, the teachings of Jesus, Paul's instructions to the early church, and the principles of conscience, Christian freedom, and love. His balanced approach equips readers to apply biblical truth with both conviction and compassion in everyday life.
This book is an outstanding resource for pastors, Bible teachers, students, church leaders, and every Christian seeking to follow Christ faithfully. It will deepen your understanding of Scripture, sharpen your spiritual discernment, and encourage you to honor Christ in every decision.
