COMMUNION:

The Meal that Unites?

Bread and wine are at the heart of Christian worship. But while most believers reverence the communion celebration, their descriptions of its meaning are bewilderingly varied. Even today, when Christians are more conscious of their common faith than they have been for centuries, conflicts over eucharistic faith and practice continue to divide them.

Donald Bridge and David Phyphers, a Baptist and an Angelican, provide an indispensable introduction to the Lord's Supper. Against the backdrop of their thorough Biblical study and historical survey of the issue, the authors make proposals for a way forward as well. Christians, they insist, must understand each other's views in light of the Bible's teaching before all who break bread can truly share it as one body.

"A fair and balanced presentation of a difficult subject.

A gem of a book for the thinking Christian!"
