Given For You: Reclaiming Calvin’s Doctrine of the Lord’s Supper (Keith A. Mathison)

Description

Intended as a high point in our lives, the Lord's Supper is too often neglected and too little understood. But when the people of God reawaken to the Supper's significance and power, the church enjoys renewed vigor.

Given for You leads us to a deeper understanding and appreciation of the Lord's Supper. Keith A. Mathison revisits church history (especially Calvin and the Reformation), searches relevant biblical passages, and guides us through theological and practical questions about the purpose, frequency, subjects, and elements of the Supper.

Endorsements

"The best and most comprehensive treatment of the Reformed doctrine of the Lord’s Supper I have ever seen. . . . a genuine ‘must read’ book."

—R. C. Sproul

"Argues cogently for the liturgical significance of returning to Calvin’s richly nuanced view of the real presence of Christ in the sacrament."

—David E. Holwerda

"I know of no other book that combines solid research, pastoral concern, polemical edge, and attention to oft-forgotten biblical passages with such skill. Any informed decision an the Supper will need to include the careful reading of this volume."

—Michael S. Horton

"To my mind, the most thorough and clearest exposition of the evangelical and Reformed view of the Lord’s Supper in recent memory. A ready antidote to many of the ills that threaten historic evangelicalism."

—Frank A. James III
