Description
The origins of Christian practice are rooted in ritual meals. This revised edition explores how these early celebrations gave rise to the Eucharist, rather than being based on the Last Supper. The custom of centreing Christian worship around mealtime persisted for approximately 150 years before giving way to morning meetings and eventually the full celebration of the sacrament. The development of classical eucharistic prayers is believed to have occurred in the third and fourth centuries, not in the distant Jewish past. These prayers are presented in full, along with a discussion of their theology. This revised edition incorporates the work of recent liturgical scholars to shed new light on this period of Christian history.
