Synopsis

Fasting has always been in all religions and cultures. What drives people to? Obviously, they promise themselves something of renouncing the natural need of satiety. In fact, there are good reasons for this. Fasting is healthy and social. What you save from your mouth can be given to others. Understood as an ascetic practice, fasting also has religious motifs. That's why Christians fast. They hope for an intense faith experience and understand the interruption of the eating routine as a form of penance and bodily prayer. That's why Protestants today also ask: Does fasting help to stay spiritually in shape? Maybe not only love, but also faith goes through the stomach... It is worth thinking about it theologically.
