Blessed Are the Hungry: Meditations on the Lord's Supper

by Peter J. Leithart · 2000

+ Want to read

The Lord s Supper is the world in miniature; it has cosmic significance. Within it we find clues to the meaning of all creation and all history, to the nature of God and the nature of man, to the mystery of the world, which is Christ. It is not confined to the first day, for its power fills seven. Though the table stands at the center, its effects stretch out to the four corners of the earth."
