Summary
Who should participate in the LordÆs Supper? How frequently should we observe it? What does this meal mean? What happens when we eat the bread and drink from the cup? What do Christians disagree about and what do they hold in common? These and other questions are explored in this thought-provoking book.This new volume in the Counterpoints: Church Life series allows four contributors to make a case for the following views:Ò Baptist view (memorialism)Ò Reformed view (spiritual presence)Ò Lutheran view (consubstantiation)Ò Roman Catholic view (transubstantiation)All contributors use Scripture to present their views, and each responds to the othersÆ essays. This book helps readers arrive at their own conclusions. It includes resources such as a listing of statements on the LordÆs Supper from creeds and confessions, quotations from noted Christians, a resource listing of books on the LordÆs Supper, and discussion questions for each chapter to facilitate small group and classroom use.
