Delving into its historical and Scriptural origins, Witherington argues that the Lord's Supper is a sacramental celebration of the community of God, designed to incorporate people of varying backgrounds. Excavating the diverse ways in which Scripture and early Christian tradition speak about the Lord's Supper, Witherington advocates that the meal is primarily about who the people of God are and how they should thus live together.Lord's SupperLord's Supper.234/.163Witherington Ben1951-281567MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910778152503321Making a meal of it3836774UNINA
