The Lord's Supper - Expanded Edition

By expressing the thoughts of Christians as they prepare for church, listen to the pastor's sermon, and as they receive the sacrament, the author captures the powerful meaning of the Lord's Supper. Through his personal and inviting voice, church historian and Christian writer Martin E. Marty describes the origins of Holy Communion and the important role the sacrament has played throughout the history of the Christian church.
