The church license allows you to print and use the program for your entire congregation, in Sunday School, VBS, small group, or for families to use in their homes. It comes with printable handouts to send home after each lesson.

Behind Edible Theology

All of our programs are developed by baker, writer, and food and theology scholar Kendall Vanderslice. They are purposefully designed with an ecumenical audience in mind, drawing on the rich history of Christian tradition in order to understand the full power of bread and the table.
