Lord's Supper, The: Eternal Word in Broken Bread

Throughout the century of the Reformation, the Lord’s Supper was the litmus test that defined a person’s religion. It was more hotly debated than any other religious topic at that time, and men were martyred for their views. Yet today many churches treat Communion as though it is an optional extra. How have we come to overlook its great significance?

Calling readers to renew their hunger and thirst for the Lord’s Supper, Robert Letham lays out a historic Reformed understanding in contrast to other views. Building on careful biblical analysis, he explains why we have the Supper, how we partake of Christ in it, who should take Communion, and more. This short book is a useful resource for anyone who wonders what takes place at the Table and why it matters.

“Clearly written, this little book should encourage and challenge its readers—church officers, lay persons, study and discussion groups—to a better understanding of and, much needed today, a higher regard for the blessings spread before the church at the table of the Lord.”
