Material Eucharist interprets the Eucharist through its material
elements of bread and wine. Drawing upon a rich variety of
biblical, patristic, medieval, and modern texts and traditions,
David Grumett brings together theological reflection and liturgical
action and shows their mutual dependence. For both theologians and
liturgists, a central concern is the matter out of which the
created order has been made, from which issues of community and
social justice are inseparable. The ingredients of bread and wine
anticipate, in their harvesting and manufacture, the formal church
liturgy, which is extended back into the world by the
transformative priestly action of laypeople. Indeed, the
transforming presence of Christ in the Eucharist as flesh and
substance is theologically grounded in his transformative presence
in the wider created order, as expressed in eucharistic giving and
exchange between churches and their wider communities. Rooting the
Eucharist in materiality suggests its primary context to be the
death and resurrection of Christ in the power of the Spirit, in
which its recipients may share. The many aspects of theology and
liturgy with which the book deals have large implications for how
the Eucharist is understood in a range of academic disciplines, and
for how it is celebrated in churches today.
