The Eucharist in Bible and Liturgy - G. D. Kilpatrick

This book is concerned with the central act of Christian worship. First it investigates in some detail the New Testament accounts of its institution at the Last Supper, dealing with the problems of scholarship involved. Secondly, the book examines three themes of the Eucharist which are foreign to Western thinking of today: sacrifice, the sacred meal and the pattern of charter story and ritual.
