The Lord's supper

---

This book is commonly referred to as being written by the "second Martin" (the first being Martin Luther). It deeply, passionately, and clearly lays forth the Lutheran understanding of the mystery, the beauty, and the worship that takes place at the Lord's Table as we partake of the bread and wine. While I am not Lutheran I do hold to the Reformed Faith. I found this book filled with great illustrations of Martin Chemnitz's and Martin Luther's thinking. The books does reference Zwinglian views, catholic views, and even John Calvin. Some wise scholars have said that the truth of Christ's presence at His table, and the fullest meaning of the words, "Take, eat my flesh...this is my body" are found somewhere right in the middle between Luther's views and Calvin's views. There is a spiritual union with the body of Christ and there is a divine mystery as we eat and swallow the bread and the wine. This book is an outstanding volume for any pastor or theologian or any leader who desires to understand..
