Synopsis
Communion Services, According To The Presbyterian Form Explanations And Discourses by John A. Wallace. This extensively devotional volume presents the Presbyterian understanding of the Lord's Supper, blending explanations with discourses and homiletic addresses. It opens with an Introductory Address to Intending Communicants, arguing that Christ is most clearly made known at the breaking of bread and that the fellowship of the church—militant and triumphant—forms the context of the feast. The work then offers Meditations for the Closet, including meditations on Everlasting Love, The Earnest Inquiry, The Personal Call, The Believer’s Surety, Vineyards in the Wilderness, The Cloud Blotted Out, and The Tabernacles of God, followed by Addresses at the Table, such as The Broken Spirit, The Wedding Garment, The Well of Bethlehem, The Clift in the Rock, The Garden of Spices, The Royal Galleries, Mount Pisgah, The Stone Rolled Away, The Risen Saviour, and The Celestial Worshippers. Additional sections address Grounds for Thanksgiving, Gospel Privileges, and the Directions at the Close of the Communion Service, concluding with a solemn Appeal to those neglecting the Saviour’s dying command. The tone is doctrinal, devotional, and pastoral.
