Abstract
The pastoral and theological literature has been notably quiet about the now-epidemic disorder of anorexia nervosa. In pursuit of a theological and pastoral understanding of this affliction, it is proposed here that beliefs and practices of anorexics share a common rejection of incarnated presence with advocates of the ancient Christological heresy of gnosticism. Examined are three parallel theological errors expressed in claims of specialness, all-or-nothing reasoning and asceticism.
