Not that one. Check your local library and if they don't have it, you can often do inter-library loan from another library that does have it. You may have to pay a small fee for this but it's much cheaper than buying the book.

Jeff Smith wrote one on a similar topic called The Frugal Gourmet on Food and Theology: Keeps the Feast. I read it many years ago and enjoyed it then. I didn't cook much from it as I didn't know where to find those ingredients at that time. It's out of print now but can be purchased cheaply in used condition.

Barnes*&*Noble.com - Used Book Search Results - Frugal Gourmet on Food and Theology: Keeps the Feast -- Jeff Smith - Hardcover - 1st ed

It's essentially cooking based on foods in the bible and what the Holy Land has traditionally eaten with discourse along the way about the symbolism, religious use and practice and the guest relationship of the middle eastern cultures.
