The Lord's Supper

<P>"As they were eating, Jesus took bread, blessed and broke it, gave it to the disciples, and said, 'Take and eat it; this is My body.'" -Matthew 26:26 (HCSB) </P><P>A follow-up to <I>Believer's Baptism</I> in the New American Commentary Studies in Bible &amp; Theology series, <I>The Lord's Supper</I> explores the current Baptist view of the communion sacrament. Contributors include Andreas K&#246;stenberger ("The Lord's Supper as a Passover Meal"), Jonathan Pennington ("The Last Supper in the Gospels"), Jim Hamilton ("The Lord's Supper in Paul"), and Michael Haykin ("Communion in the Early Church"). Adding a helpful perspective, chapters are also provided on the Roman Catholic, Lutheran, Calvinist, and Zwinglian views of communion. </P>
