Synopsis

The Scriptural Doctrine Of The Holy Sacrament, Opposed To Transubstantiation. A Sermon On Luke XXII. 15-20 by Thomas Robertson presents a 19th-century Anglican defense against transubstantiation and a memorialist view of the Lord's Supper. Preached at St. Mary’s Church, Bryanstone Square, on Sunday, October 12th, 1845, it was issued in London in 1846. Robertson, a Cambridge-educated clergyman, argues that Baptism and the Lord's Supper replace the old Jewish rites and are memorials of deliverance—specifically, that the Passover prefigures Christ's saving work. The sermon treats the Eucharist as a solemn memorial and pledge rather than a literal sacrifice, citing John 6 and 1 Corinthians 11 to show that bread and wine symbolize, not transform into, Christ's body and blood. He rejects the Roman Catholic doctrine of transubstantiation, accusing it of subverting Scripture and reason. The work champions Protestant faith, reverent participation in communion, and the command to observe the ordinance “Do this in remembrance of me,” urging believers to cling to faith in Christ's redemptive work.
