In Remembrance of Him: Profiting from the Lord's Supper

by Guilelmus Saldenus, Wilhemus a Brakel, James A. DeJong (Editor)

The two seventeenth-century essays translated and offered in this book were originally designed to help people of the Dutch Further Reformation derive the greatest benefit from celebrating the Lord s Supper. Guilelmus Saldenus's The Efficacy of the Lord's Supper concentrates on the joy received in celebrating the sacrament and the sanctified living that it ought to generate. Wilhelmus a Brakel's Edifying Discourses instructs believers in preparing their hearts for the celebration, participating in the Supper responsibly, and following up the meal in a spiritually beneficial manner. These contributions are but two examples of a much larger genre of edifying Lord's Supper literature that developed in the Netherlands in the seventeenth century.

[Alexander · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book is meant to provide its readers with an understanding of what it means to examine oneself before partaking of the Lord's Supper. The authors do so with humility and clarity, exhorting the readers to consider their sinfulness and need of a Savior.

I've been reading a lot of books on communion. This was my least favorite. Overly introspective. Not all old wines are good wines. This isn't the best vintage for communion.
