Theological reflection upon the Eucharist is dominated by two
paradigms: One approach interprets the Eucharist almost exclusively
in theological terms, shaped by Scholasticism and the Reformation.
Most discussions about the nature of the Eucharist, Eucharistic
presence or the role of the priest follow these categories, even if
they come in modern disguise. The other reads the Eucharist as an
event which can be explored empirically. O'Loughlin develops a new
understanding of the Eucharist. This can be done by looking afresh
at the historical evidence and bringing it in dialogue with modern
theology. In the past decades, historical research and new
discoveries have changed our view of the origins and the
development of the Eucharist. By bringing history into a fruitful
dialogue with sacramental and liturgical theology, he shows not
only ways how theology and practice can be brought closer together
again, but also how current ecumenical divisions can be overcome.
His book makes an important contribution to eucharistic theology,
both for individual church traditions as well as for ecumenical
dialogues.
