Who should participate in the Lord's Supper? How often should we observe it? What does this meal mean? What happens when we eat the bread and drink the cup? What do Christians disagree on and what do they hold in common? These and other questions are explored in this inspiring book.
This new volume in the Christian Views of the Church series allows four contributors to present their arguments on the following viewpoints:
• Baptist view (memorialist)
• Reformed view (spiritual presence)
• Lutheran view (consubstantiation)
• Roman Catholic view (transubstantiation)
Each viewpoint is presented by a speaker, then critiqued and defended in a dialogue with the other contributors. Learn the strengths and weaknesses of these viewpoints and draw your own conclusions. The book includes several appendices, as well as discussion questions for each chapter to facilitate its use in a small group.
