Taste and see

In her essay, Pickstock notes the synaesthetic biblical exhortation to “taste and see.”

It’s a regular biblical theme, not only in the Psalm 34. Adam and Eve taste and see. So does Jonathan. So do the disciples on the road to Emmaeus.

So do we, each week as the Lord’s table, as we taste the Lord and begin to have our senses healed.
