Her 'Sacrifice as Gift' gives a lucid, learned, and engaging discussion of a major theologian who helped map the route toward the gift of grace issuing from Eucharistic communion and mystical union. --Henry Hart, Anglican Theological Review Her effort to restore this 'forgotten voice' to contemporary theology and intellectual history is in aid of a better understanding of sacramental theology and the doctrine of grace in Christian thought and spirituality Matthiesen's research has been turned to good account. The vital issue, as she sees it, is to accept a complete identity of spiritual significance between the Last Supper of Jesus, with its instiution of the Eucharist, with his death by crucifixion. Her repeated use of the disturbing term 'the supper-Cross' vividly expresses the doctrine in question. --Philip F. O'Mara, The Sixteenth Century Journal: The Journal of Early Modern Studies In this timely study Matthiesen presents a critical and tellingly appreciative account of La taille's work Matthiesen's retrieval of the corpus of La Taille's work I a welcome contribution to contemporary scholarly work on eucharistic origins, understandings, and practice, and one that certainly repays a serious and attentive reading. --Christopher Irvine, Oxford University Press The Author
