Cult And Controversy

Nathan Mitchell has written this book to enrich the Church’s understanding of the many theologies and popular customs that have attached themselves to the eucharist over the last two thousand years. Drawing references from original texts and socio-cultural history, he presents the many ways ordinary Christians found of ritualizing what faith told them was true after communion was disengaged from the Holy Meal: Christ is present in the bread and wine of the Supper.
