Bread of Life and Cup of Joy: Newer Ecumenical Perspectives on the Eucharist Reprint edition

A fresh look at the Eucharist in ways that serve to draw Christians together rather than divide them. A respected scholar of liturgical history, Davies focuses on several ways of understanding the sacrament, exploring the bread of life, and the cup of joy--as memorial, sacrifice, thanksgiving, mystery, an eschatological banquet, and more. A final chapter analyzes agreements and disagreements among the partners in ecumenical discussion.
