Most Christians obey Jesus' command to "do this in remembrance of me": breaking bread and drinking wine as he did at the Last Supper. But many of us have only a little understanding of why we do this, and what it means.
Theories and beliefs about this central Christian practice have, sadly, often divided Christians. Without clear teaching all sorts of misunderstandings creep in, and Christians fail to benefit from this wonderful and central action of faith.
This book explains in a clear and lively fashion the background to the Last Supper, the ways in which Christians have interpreted Jesus' actions over the centuries, and what it all means for us today.
It will be valued by all who want to understand what they are doing in coming to the Lord's table. It will serve as an excellent introduction to the topic at a Confirmation class, or for anyone wanting a refresher course on this aspect of basic Christianity.
