This book is concerned with the central act of Christian worship,
call it Eucharist, Holy Communion, Liturgy, Last Supper or Mass.
First it investigates in some detail the New Testament accounts of
its institution at the Last Supper, dealing with the problems of
scholarship involved. Professor Kilpatrick argues that Mark XIV and
I Corinthians XI are basic, Mark being more archaic. Secondly, the
book examines three themes of the Eucharist which are foreign to
Western thinking of today: sacrifice, the sacred meal and the
pattern of charter story and ritual. This pattern is common ground
to anthropologists and biblical scholars. It is argued that the
observance is not a Passover but a sacrifice in Biblical terms and
certain features which we find in Biblical sacrifice have parallels
in the religion of ancient Rome and Greece. The bearing of these
conclusions on present-day liturgical revision is then discussed.
