Overview

The Eucharist and Social Justice argues that the Eucharist is deeply political and potentially subversive. It explores the inseparable relationship between Eucharist and social justice. The eucharistic texts embrace a whole host of social issues around poverty and injustice, and this book teases out their wider implications. It also rediscovers the dimension that God intended for the Eucharist: to be the life of the world.
