  Invites Au Banquet Du Seigneur – (Other Language)

  $16.99

  Tous les chretiens savent que Jesus a institue une celebration avec du pain et du vin. Certains l’appellent le repas du Seigneur, d’autres l’appellent la cene, la communion ou l’eucharistie. Pourquoi les chretiens participent-ils encore a cette celebration de nos jours? Quel en est le sens? Et qu’est-ce que cela nous apprend sur le ministere de Jesus Christ?

  Professeur Christian A. Eberhart repond a ces questions par l’etude des textes fondateurs. Il nous immerge tout d’abord dans les textes du Nouveau Testament qui font reference au dernier repas de Jesus. Puis la quete de sens nous mene dans l’Ancien Testament, ou nous poursuivons la recherche sur les themes de la Paque juive, des rituels sacrificiels et de l’expiation. Ces textes nous offrent des cles determinantes pour la comprehension du pardon des peches a l’oeuvre durant la communion. Pr Eberhart montre aussi que cette celebration instituee par Jesus est un repas ritualise. Par consequent, il explore aussi les fonctions sociales des repas communautaires dans l’antiquite greco-romaine. Au final, la communion apparait tel un puissant symbole, encore pertinent de nos jours, qui transmet l’amour de Dieu et l’ideal d’une societe inclusive.

  What A Difference A Meal Makes

  $16.99

  “Biblical scholar Christian Eberhart unpacks the words of institution of Christian communion services by explaining how first-century Christians would have understood “This is my body, this is my blood.” Using a conversational style, Professor Eberhart makes his extensive scholarship accessible to a non-academic audience. Readers will find their own experience of communion deepened after reading this book.”
  Rev. Dr. Priscilla Eppinger, Professor of Religion, Community of Christ Seminary at Graceland University

  All Christians know that Jesus instituted a celebration with bread and wine. It has various different names, such as Last Supper, Lord’s Supper, Communion, or Eucharist. Why do Christians today still participate in this celebration? What is its meaning? And what does it tell us about the ministry of Jesus Christ?

  This book answers these questions by looking closely at the foundational texts in the Bible. It is an invitation to first study relevant New Testament texts on the Last Supper of Jesus. From there the quest for meaning continues to the Old Testament where topics such as Passover, sacrificial rituals, and atonement are investigated. These texts offer decisive clues on how to comprehend forgiveness of sins that is effective during the Last Supper. Moreover, this book shows that the celebration which Jesus instituted was a ritualized meal. Therefore it explores social functions of communal meals in Greco-Roman antiquity. Thus the Last Supper emerges as a powerful symbol that is still relevant today, conveying the love of God and the ideal of an inclusive society.
