Abstract

The author presents this study from a biblical perspective to instruct the 20th century church on the nature of fasting as a normative congregational discipline. The methodology reflects the utilization of pre-fast and post-fast multiple choice questionnaires designed to test spiritual concerns, attitudes, and knowledge pertaining to fasting. The conclusions contribute toward an increased understanding of: the relationship between the origin of fasting and fasting as exercised by health practitioners; fasting as an empowering instrument for spiritual development; and significant factors, such as legalism and super-spirituality, that often lead believers to view fasting as an unnecessary practice.
