Synopsis

Explore a historic challenge to the Real Presence in the Lord’s Supper and the debates that shaped Anglican and Catholic thought.

This volume presents a detailed, point‑by‑point critique of the doctrines surrounding the Eucharist. It examines how High Anglicans and Ritualists have used patristic testimony, scripture, and church history in debates over the presence of Christ in the elements. The author argues for a careful, evidence‑based treatment of patristic sources and the words of institution, contrasting different interpretations and their theological implications. The work is a rigorous, polemical study aimed at readers who want to understand the controversy and the key arguments on each side.

• A close look at the challenge to Dr. Pusey and the responses that followed
• Explanations of how terminology like “sacrament,” “sign,” and “body” has been understood
• Comparisons of sources from the early church through reformers to modern debates
• Clear discussion of how passages from the Old and New Testaments are interpreted in this controversy

Ideal for readers of religious history and theological critique who want to follow a sustained argument about the Eucharist, church authority, and the interpretation of patristic testimony.
