Excerpt from Living Pictures in the Church of the Holy Communion, and Other Thoughts in Verse Coming to the Church of the Holy Com munion thirty years after the words I have quoted were spoken by its first pastor, and carefully observing its work, I soon felt that the hopes must have been high indeed in the beginning that had not been already more than realized. On expressing my feelings in Dreamland Church in Stone, I found I had only echoed the thoughts of hundreds, many of whom thanked me so warmly for that expression, and still ask for copies of it, that I have been tempted to'send forth this volume (in aid of one of the many chari ties of the church), which I affectionately in. Scribe to the clear, familiar friends who now gather around me, and make me feel that I can no longer say with truth that I am a lone, strange worshipper.

A revelatory exploration of the Jewish roots of the Last Supper that seeks to understand exactly what happened at Jesus’ final Passover. “Clear, profound and practical—you do not want to miss this book.”—Dr. Scott Hahn, author of The Lamb’s Supper and The Fourth Cup Jesus and the Jewish Roots of the Eucharist shines fresh light on the Last Supper by looking at it through Jewish eyes. Using his in-depth knowledge of the Bible and ancient Judaism, Dr. Brant Pitre answers questions such as: What was the Passover like at the time of Jesus? What were the Jewish hopes for the Messiah? What was Jesus’ purpose in instituting the Eucharist during the feast of Passover? And, most important of all, what did Jesus mean when he said, “This is my body… This is my blood”? To answer these questions, Pitre explores ancient Jewish beliefs about the Passover of the Messiah, the miraculous Manna from heaven, and the mysterious Bread of the Presence. As he shows, these three keys—the Passover, the Manna, and the Bread of the Presence—have the power to unlock the original meaning of the Eucharistic words of Jesus. Along the way, Pitre also explains how Jesus united the Last Supper to his death on Good Friday and his Resurrection on Easter Sunday. Inspiring and informative, Jesus and the Jewish Roots of the Eucharist is a groundbreaking work that is sure to illuminate one of the greatest mysteries of the Christian faith: the mystery of Jesus’ presence in “the breaking of the bread.”
