Through an accessible question and answer format, Giles Dimock expounds on Catholic teachings regarding the Eucharist as a meal, a sacrifice, and as Real Presence. He addresses the historical doctrine of the Church and explains the meaning of the Eucharist for Christians today.
“Perhaps John, the Theologian as he is called in the East, is more concerned with showing Jesus as the paschal Lamb of God (John 1:29), whose death could be compared to those lambs being prepared for slaughter for the Passover that had not yet happened (John 18:28, 19:31).” (Page 5)
“Therefore the Church insists on wheaten bread, unleavened like Jesus used for the Western Church, and leavened to symbolize the risen Lord for the Eastern Church.” (Page 18)
