In recent years, Christians everywhere are rediscovering the Jewish
roots of their faith. Every year at Easter time, many believers now
celebrate Passover meals (known as Seders) seeking to understand
exactly what happened at Jesus' final Passover, the night before he
was crucified.
"Jesus and the Jewish Roots of the Eucharist "shines fresh light
on the Last Supper by looking at it through Jewish eyes. Using his
in-depth knowledge of the Bible and ancient Judaism, Dr. Brant
Pitre answers questions such as: What was the Passover like at the
time of Jesus? What were the Jewish hopes for the Messiah? What was
Jesus' purpose in instituting the Eucharist during the feast of
Passover? And, most important of all, what did Jesus mean when he
said, "This is my body... This is my blood"?
To answer these questions, Pitre explores ancient Jewish beliefs
about the Passover of the Messiah, the miraculous Manna from
heaven, and the mysterious Bread of the Presence. As he shows,
these three keys--the Passover, the Manna, and the Bread of the
Presence--have the power to unlock the original meaning of the
Eucharistic words of Jesus. Along the way, Pitre also explains how
Jesus united the Last Supper to his death on Good Friday and his
Resurrection on Easter Sunday.
Inspiring and informative, Jesus and the Jewish Roots of the
Eucharist is a groundbreaking work that is sure to illuminate one
of the greatest mysteries of the Christian faith: the mystery of
Jesus' presence in "the breaking of the bread."
