This third edition of the late Nathan D. Mitchell’s seminal work brings his historical scholarship on Eucharistic practices into dialogue with twentieth-century Eucharistic theology. His reflections on the transformative power of the Eucharist remain essential for parish life and for how Sunday Mass is celebrated today. Key highlights of this work include:
Teachings on the Eucharist as provided in the Catechism of the Catholic Church
Contemporary biblical scholarship centered upon Jesus and the Eucharist
Challenging reflections upon the nature of real presence and how that effects the life of the Church
Synopsis of European Eucharistic scholarship of theologians Jean-Luc Marion Herbert McCabe and Catherine Pickstock
Included in this edition is a new foreword by Kimberly Hope Belcher.
