Lost Supper - Revisiting Passover and the Origins of the Eucharist

In The Lost Supper, Matthew Colvin argues that Jesus did not create new symbolism with his words and actions at the Last Supper but, rather, invoked an already-existing Passover ritual. He therefore corrects assumptions, past and present, about how the Eucharist works and how we ought to celebrate it.
