The Venerable and Adorable Eucharist

The Lutheran doctrine of the real presence expounds how God interacts with us substantially today and how the salvation won by Christ on the cross is distributed to us in Word and Sacrament and received by faith. Explore the doctrine of the Sacrament through copious citations from the earliest church fathers, Aquinas, and the Scholastics; Luther and Melanchthon; and Brenz, Andreae, Chemnitz, and Laurentius Petri of Sweden.
Hardt's detailed analysis reveals the rich nuances of Luther's sacramental theology, which is rooted in Scripture, and encourages renewed appreciation for The Venerable and Adorable Eucharist.
