One of the first things a Catholic learns is that the Eucharist is 'source and summit of the Christian faith'. Thanks to this book, I am beginning to understand why the Church says this so emphatically.This is not an easy book. It is written by a scholar, and for scholars, of high calibre (our Holy Father, Benedict XVI, won the same award for theological scholarship as the author of this book. Nevertheless, I am grateful for the insights I have been able to glean about the awesome majesty of the Mass.
I emphatically recommend this book for anyone who wants to know more about the theology behind the Eucharist. This book takes a systematic study through the Old Testament and the New Testament as its basis. Therefore, as a scriptural approach to the theology of the Eucharist, it is invaluable. The author approaches Eucharist from the authentic Catholic perspective and therefore one should not expect to read comments about what others may call "Eucharist" but which really is not that which is presented in Scripture.
This product arrived in a timely fashion for my course. I also enjoyed the quality of the product itself. Everything arrived in pristine condition, and most importantly, without any crimping or crinkles.
Best book on the Eucharist I have ever read. Kereszty knows his stuff, presents it very well and writes accessibly. You will not be disappointed.
