Making a Meal of It: Rethinking the Theology of the Lord's Supper

Making a Meal of It explores the background and implication of the Lordas Supper. Delving into its historical and Scriptural origins, Witherington argues that the Lordas Supper is a sacramental celebration of the community of God, designed to incorporate people of varying backgrounds. Excavating the diverse ways in which Scripture and early Christian tradition speak about the Lordas Supper, Witherington advocates that the meal is primarily about who the people of God are and how they should thus live together.
