The Eucharist in Scripture explores the biblical theme of meals shared in faithful fellowship and in covenant relationship with God. Old Testament meals and promises provide a foundation for gospel meals with Jesus, culminating in the Last Supper as it is understood throughout the New Testament. Jesus&; Bread of Life discourse and the early Church&;s practice of &;breaking bread&; are also explored.
Commentary, study and reflection questions, prayer and access to recorded lectures are included. Five lessons.

Much of the basic content of this very practical resource is drawn from previously published commentary by Clifford Yeary, who has capably provided many of the Little Rock Scripture Study resources, but the format of this workbook-like publication has been enriched by staff to make it a valuable resource for Bible study groups and their leaders. It provides the Old Testament background on meal motifs and then studies the key texts related to the Eucharist in the four gospels and in Paul. Pertinent quotations from the Scriptures, helpful sidebars, and suggested discussion topicsresources that will be prized by readersare found throughout the book. The Bible Today
