Eucharistic Origins

"Eucharistic Origins. A Survey of the New Testament Evidence" is a scholarly examination of the development and meaning of the Lord's Supper within the context of early Christian scripture. Based on the 1928 Bruce Lectures, George Hogarth Carnaby Macgregor provides a meticulous analysis of the New Testament evidence regarding the institution and significance of the Eucharist. The work explores the linguistic, historical, and theological foundations of the sacrament, tracing its evolution from the Last Supper through the practices of the primitive Church.Macgregor engages with contemporary biblical criticism to offer insights into the relationship between Jesus' intentions and the subsequent liturgical expressions found in the Pauline epistles and the Gospels. This volume serves as an essential resource for students of biblical theology, church history, and sacramental practice, offering a rigorous survey of the scriptural testimonies that underpin one of Christianity's most central rites. By focusing on the primitive evidence, "Eucharistic Origins" seeks to clarify the transition from Jewish ritual to Christian sacrament, making it a valuable study for understanding the liturgical life of the earliest Christian communities.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
