The Meal Jesus Gave Us: Understanding Holy Communion - Softcover

Most Christians obey Jesus' command to 'do this in remembrance of me': breaking bread and drinking wine as he did at the Last Supper. But many of us have only a little understanding of why we do this, and what it means. Tom Wright explains in a clear and vivid way the background to the Last Supper, the ways in which Christians have interpreted Jesus' actions over the centuries, and what it all means for us today. This book will be valued by all who want to understand what they are doing in coming to the Lord's table.

Tom Wright is Canon of Westminster and author of numerous books both for the academic and general market. He lectures widely in Britain, America, Canada, new Zealand and Jerusalem, and is a regular broadcaster on radio and television.
