Echoing the Word: The Bible in the Eucharist

Rate this book
This book is an exploration of the biblical and theological themes in the Common Worship Eucharistic texts. The theological formation of many Christians takes place during their weekly celebration of the Eucharist. The language of the Eucharist has a deep impact on the way that people think about God and about themselves. The problem today is that fewer and fewer Christians have any idea about the content and significance of many of the allusions that can be found in the liturgical texts.

The closet Anglican in me absolutely relished in this. The lay-theologian in me found this fascinating. And the Pentecostal in me lamented that pentecostal worship often lacks such textual depth and richness. We have much to learn, and books like this are a gift to enliven our minds to those things that we can easily take for granted.
