Making a Meal of Itby Ben Witherington III
Baylor University Press 2007; US$ 29.95Making a Meal of It explores the background and implication of the Lord?s Supper. Delving into its historical and Scriptural origins, Witherington argues that the Lord?s Supper is a sacramental celebration of the community of God, designed to incorporate people of varying backgrounds. Excavating the diverse ways in which Scripture and early Christian tradition speak about the Lord?s Supper, Witherington advocates that the meal is primarily about who the people of God are and how they should thus live together. more...
Eucharistic Sacramentality in an Ecumenical Contextby David J. Kennedy
Ashgate Publishing Ltd 2008; US$ 114.95This book explores the epiclesis or invocation of the Holy Spirit in the Eucharistic prayer, using the Anglican tradition as an historical model of a communion of churches in conscious theological and liturgical dialogue with Christian antiquity.Incorporating major studies of England, North America and the Indian sub-Continent, the author includes an exposition of Inter-Church ecumenical dialogue and the historic divisions between western and eastern Eucharistic traditions and twentieth-century ecumenical endeavour.This unique study of the relationship between theology and liturgical text, commends a theology and spirituality which celebrates the presence of the Holy Spirit in the Eucharist as present and eschatological gift.

John Wyclifs Discourse on Dominion in Communityby Elemer Boreczky
BRILL 2007; US$ 138.00John Wyclif's modern critics have found little in his works that justified his fame by the standards of intellectual history. This book reconstructs Wyclif's discourse on the theological and political consequences of his radically new insight into the integrity of man and nature as regards the good, free and beautiful life, communicated to his contemporary scholastic and lay audience. His theological, legal and political vision of the opportunity to restore original justice through the spiritual reality and sanctity of persona humana in every man as well as in the community by the law of love and the use and enjoyment of dominion in community enfolds through abundant quotes from his works, justifying his fame at the time of the birth... more...
Jesus and the Jewish Roots of the Eucharistby Brant Pitre; Scott Hahn
The Doubleday Religious Publishing Group 2011; US$ 10.99In recent years, Christians everywhere are rediscovering the Jewish roots of their faith. Every year at Easter time, many believers now celebrate Passover meals (known as Seders) seeking to understand exactly what happened at Jesus’ final Passover, the night before he was crucified. Jesus and the Jewish Roots of the Eucharist shines fresh light on the Last Supper by looking at it through Jewish eyes. Using his in-depth knowledge of the Bible and ancient Judaism, Dr. Brant Pitre answers questions such as: What was the Passover like at the time of Jesus? What were the Jewish hopes for the Messiah? What was Jesus’ purpose in instituting the Eucharist during the feast of Passover? And, most important of all, what did... more...
Eucharist: A Guide for the Perplexedby Ralph N. McMichael
Continuum International Publishing 2010; US$ 80.00What is the Eucharist? This direct question would seem to yield an equally direct answer. However, as soon as we begin to answer it, we encounter an array of responses layered with various complexities. The answer is shaped by who answers, e.g. a Roman Catholic, an Anglican, or a Baptist. Perhaps, even the name ‘Eucharist’ would be contested. Answers to this question would reflect not only confessional differences but the spectrum of theological and liturgical perspectives across Christianity. One might emphasize the communal nature of the Eucharist, the presence of Christ for adoration, the fellowship around a table, or a sacrifice performed on an altar. In addition to the multiplicity of images employed and liturgical styles preferred,... more...

Eucharistic Communion and the Worldby John D. Zizioulas; Luke Ben Tallon
Continuum International Publishing 2011; US$ 27.95The theology of John Zizioulas presents a beautiful vision of the Church as Eucharistic communion, in which human persons both are gathered into Jesus Christ and are sent back into the world. In his previous books, Zizioulas focused on the way this communion is related to the communion of Father, Son and Holy Spirit, which calls us to understand being as communion and provides the only foundation for otherness and identity. With its sustained attention directly to the Eucharistic communion, this volume provides the context for those discussions. Zizioulas here explores the biblical dimensions and eschatological foundation of the Eucharist, the celebration of the Eucharist by the Church, and the ethos of the Eucharistic community. These essays... more...
