, 1846

Overview

According to John Williamson Nevin, the Lord’s Supper is at the very heart of our worship as Christians and the church itself centers on this divine sacrament. In The Mystical Presence, often considered Nevin’s magnum opus, he defends and advocates the Reformed Church’s practice and its interpretation in an attempt to combat the sectarianism and controversy brewing in the German church. He aimed to restore the sacramental and incarnational principles and theology of the Protestant Reformation; here, he clearly and methodically outlines the doctrine and theory of the Eucharist.
