LitBit Commentary – William Cavanaugh on the Eucharist 2

Posted on 13 June 2017 by CraigT

LitBit: The Eucharist diffuses the false theology and the false anthropology of will and right by the stunning ‘public’ leitourgia in which humans are made members of God’s very Body. “Just as the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, so who ever eats me will live because of me” (John 6.57). Augustine envisions Jesus saying, “I am the food of the fully grown; grow and you will feed on me. And you will not change me into you like the food your flesh eats, but you will be changed into me.”

LitBit Commentary – William Cavanaugh on the Eucharist 1

Posted on 20 April 2017 by CraigT

LitBit: … gathering in solidarity and love was not a Christian innovation. Members of Roman collegia addressed each other as brethren and often held goods in common. What distinguished the Christian Eucharistic community was the way that it transcended natural and social divisions. In Christ there is no Jew or Greek, slave or free, male or female (Galatians 3.28).

LitBit Commentary – Gordon Lathrop on the Body of Christ

Posted on 22 June 2016 by CraigT

LitBit: …the most important symbol of Christ in the room is not the minister, not the altar, not even the bread or the water of the font. It is the assembly, the Body of Christ, as the New Testament says.
