Synopsis

A Brief Declaration of the Lord's Supper is a historical theological treatise defending Reformation-era views on the Eucharist.

This edition presents the text as a reprint of the London edition from 1586, published in 1688 with added references and context.

Originally by Nicholas Ridley, a bishop of London, it argues for a view of the sacrament distinct from medieval Transubstantiation. The volume also includes an extract of related material from the book Diallacticon, offering a broader look at early Christian and corrective voices on the Lord’s Supper. The work emphasizes sacramental signs, remembrance, and spiritual nourishment as central to true Christian practice.

  • Historical background on Eucharistic doctrine and its reformers
  • Ridley’s arguments for a non-transubstantive understanding of the sacrament
  • Selections from related early and medieval writers for comparison
  • Notes on publication history and the edition’s editorial context

Ideal for readers interested in church history, Reformation theology, and the development of Anglican Eucharistic thought.
