Meal Jesus Gave us: Understand Holy Communion New Edition

• A short guide to the meaning and purpose of Holy Communion for all ages• Explains its biblical origins, its many interpretations, and its place in Christian life today• Questions for reflection or discussion at ends of chapters‘Nothing is more central to Christian practice than Holy Communion. Yet, curiously enough, little attempt is made to explain it. So many outside the Christian community are just puzzled by it, and many within the Church go to Communion from habit but know very little about how it arose or what it means. This is the ideal book for both types of reader. It is written by one of the foremost New Testament scholars in the world, who has the enviable ability to write with engaging charm . . .’Michael Green, Honorary Fellow, Wycliffe Hall, Oxford
