In graduate theology programs across the United States and
elsewhere, Maxwell Johnson's The Rites of Christian Initiation:
Their Evolution and Interpretation has become a standard text. Now
Johnson and Paul Bradshaw together offer a companion volume on the
historical development of the liturgy and theology of the
Eucharist. Like the earlier volume, this study proceeds
historically, from the origins of the Eucharist up to our own day.
Unlike most studies of this kind, it includes an introduction to
and developmental summary of the diverse eucharistic liturgies of
the Christian East. It also explores the various Western rites
(Ambrosian, Gallican, and Mozarabic) in addition to the Roman. With
regard to theological themes, the authors give special attention to
the topics of real presence (including the "consecration" of the
bread and wine) and eucharistic sacrifice, the most central and
most ecumenically challenging issues since the sixteenth-century
Reformations. Making the book especially teacher- and
student-friendly are the summary points at the end of each chapter.
Each chapter also contains an abundance of liturgical texts for
ease of reference.
