PFOPLE ASK A WIDE RANGE OF QUESTIONS ABOUT HOLY COMMUNION: What do we mean when we say that Christ is present in communion? How are Christ's body and blood connected with bread and wine? What is the difference between the Christian Supper and the Jewish Passover meal? Are children allowed to share in communion? In this book internationally respected theologian Michael Welker answers these and other questions about communion in ways that are both faithful to the biblical tradition and ecumenically oriented. The result is a book that gives clear insights into the meaning and practice of holy communion and, further, marks a turning point on the way to a common understanding of this central Christian sacrament.
