I wish I had had this book years ago when I moderated a wide-spred e-mail discussion group that focused on the meaning of Holy Communion. . . . In the end, it makes for an insightful look into a major sacrament that has divided Christianity for centuries. This would be a great study book for church groups.

I think any layperson with an interest in comparing various views of the Lord's Supper without having to read 5 systematic theology texts will be well served by this book.

The Lord's Supper: Five Views contains a wealth of important information, especially in regards to the history of each position.

What this volume does well is to show how within each tradition there is real overlap and points for conversation. This is a great introductory volume.
