description: In this profoundly insightful and highly readable book Thomas Nash brilliantly refutes the common charge that the Mass is unbiblical. As youll discover the story of the Mass goes deeper than the Last Supper and Christs Passion and Death. Indeed its part of an unbroken story that begins in the Garden of Eden and continues today in your local parish. Working systematically through Scripture Nash offers an authoritative explanation of salvation history showing how the Old Testament prefiguresand the New Testament wondrously recordsJesus one self-sacrifice of Calvary which is mysteriously made present at each and every Mass. Nashs meticulous Scripture-packed analysis relies on hundreds of Bible passages to show that the story of the Mass is inextricably linked with the story of the Bible. The Biblical Roots of the Mass challenges Protestants to see the Bible as a truly Catholic story while leading Catholics to understand the Mass as indispensable to achieving the Churchs divinely ordained mandate.
