The premise of this book is that Christian practice of the Lord's Supper as a silent, solemn, individualistic eating of bread and drinking of wine is radically dissimilar from the joyous communal meal in earliest Christianity. The contemporary practice of the supper needs to be
revisioned; according to biblical values.
Combining careful Bible study with gentle, practical suggestions, this book provides a valuable resource for enriching and renewing a central practice of Christian faith.
