Eucharist in the New Testament.
Revised Edition.
In this book Catholic exegete Moloney, on the basis of a close analysis of the New Testament texts, challenges his church to a re-examination of its disciplinary tradition: if the meal practice of Jesus embodied a never-failing presence of the Lord to his ever-failing disciples, then should not the Church think twice before excluding faltering members from communion?
Moloney's stimulating study gives food for thought and this book makes a significant contribution to reflection on the ways to hold together the divine generosity in forgiveness, the call of sinners to repentance, and the responsibility of the Church as beneficiary, messenger, and steward of the gospel.
