For the first time in a single volume, an impressive group of believers church scholars give an overview of the history, theology, and practice of the Lord's Supper in denominations that share the common heritage of believers baptism. The essays are about sharing the bread and cup, foot washing, and the love feast.
Several scholars examine the witness of Scripture and of church history on communion.
A series of chapters describe the current practice and theology of the Lord's Supper in denominations as varied as Baptist, Quaker, Seventh-Day Adventist, and African Methodist Episcopal. This witness is redemptive in an individualistic and broken world, as well as in the lives of those formed by the common life. Theological Seminary, teaches and writes on Anabaptist, Pietist, and Brethren studies and on church planting.
