“Can God set a table in the wilderness?” (Ps 78:19)
In A Table in the Wilderness , Michelle Stinson considers the rhetorical power of the language of food in the hands of the biblical writers. Through a careful analysis of two key food-based events recalled in Psalm 78—the divine provision of food in the wilderness (vv. 15–31) and the dismantling of food supplies through the Egyptian plagues (vv. 44–51)—Stinson shows how the psalmist’s rhetorical crafting of these accounts seeks to instill confident trust (v. 7) in the possibility of YHWH’s renewed intervention in the present. By considering the psalmist’s employment of food language across the historical recital, as well as comparing the psalm’s use to other associated collections (historical and Asaph psalms), A Table in the Wilderness offers a compelling argument forthe rhetorical power of the language of food, a force rooted in food’s multidimensionality, literary flexibility, and the ready accessibility of this quotidian feature of human life.
