- ." . . The Lord's Supper should be celebrated frequently in the
church, and there is good reason for doing so on each Lord's Day."
- "The Lord's Supper today should be open to all who wish to feed
on Christ and profess faith in him." - "The New Testament envisages
the use of one loaf and a common cup. It would be good to maintain
this symbolism today." These are but three of several provocative
conclusions reached by the distinguished theologian I. Howard
Marshall in this easy-to-understand and comprehensive survey of the
New Testament accounts of the Lord's supper. This book explores the
nature of other sacred meals in the ancient world, principally
Jewish; the relationship to one or other of the biblical accounts
themselves; the nature of the meal celebrated by the early church;
the significance of the Last Supper as demonstrated by Jesus; and
then as demonstrated by the early church. Understanding the supper
as a Passover meal, Marshall shows the meal's orientation towards
the death, resurrection and second coming of Jesus and its
centrality to the life of the church. In doing so, he draws out a
number of principles important for the Christian community today.
I. Howard Marshall is Professor of New Testament and the University
of Aberdeen. He has written numerous books including Biblical
Inspiration and I Believe in the Historical Jesus.
