Disorderly Eating … for the Rest of Us

Journal of Biblical Counseling 12:1

Part 4 of a 4 part series helping those with eating “disorders.” In this article, Elyse Fitzpatrick discusses “normal” disorderly eating. Fitzpatrick maintains that eating reveals either your faith or your idolatry, either godliness or ungodliness. She examines several examples throughout Scripture of the role that food plays in temptations towards idolatry. Fitzpatrick concludes, what matters is the attitude of the heart that produces habits of behavior. Part 1 is in JBC 11:1, Part 2 in JBC 11:2, Part 3 in JBC 11:3 and Part 4 in JBC 12:1.
