OverviewIn our day and age, can the Eucharist be understood as anything other than a simple meal? Or is it, in fact, a magical act of worship? What people associate with the central celebration of the Catholic church today moves between these two poles. But these oppositional views prevent a contemporary and theologically responsible understanding of the Eucharist. In this book, Urs Baumann shines light on biblical, historical and current aspects of sacrifice and eating, ordination and consecration. His reflections introduce a perspective of how the Eucharist can be understood and celebrated appropriately in our time. This is a bold book that frees the central celebration of the Church from theological exaggerations as well as from aspects of priestly power thus bringing what is truly essential to the center of our attention again.
