Eucharist Through the Centuries is a comprehensive work, tracing the elements of Eucharistic doctrine from the day Jesus Christ announced it for the first time in the synagogue in Capernum all the way down to our own day. Despite the ravages of time, there is a surprisingly large amount of documentary evidence for the Catholic Church's teaching on the Eucharist. This material is both clear and constant and has been gathered from all parts of the world where Christianity has spread. What makes this volume even more unique is the format - the material is presented as a series of meditations, thus instructing both the reader's mind and spirit.
The title says it all. Laid out century-by-century, this treasure surveys writings about the Eucharist through the ages. Starting with the scores of Eucharistic scriptural references, Father covers related writings up to our own times. An exciting and crucial book for those who want to know more about the source and summit of our Christian life, the Eucharist.
