The Eucharist

An outstanding contemporary analysis of the transubstantion and of its meaning and significance today. The first part of the book concentrates on the concerns and approach of the Fathers who defined the doctrine at The Council of Trent, the second part goes on to develop a modern interpretation of "the distinctively eucharistic manner of the Real Presence."

Edward Schillebeeckx is one of the foremost theologians alive today
