by Edward Hoare
This volume offers a clear‑headed investigation into how the Church of England has historically spoken about the Lord’s Supper. Rather than accepting popular slogans, the author urges listeners to trace the church’s own words and documents, asking what the Anglican tradition truly teaches about the communion table. The opening sections set the stage by exposing the ease with which confident assertions can become accepted truth, and then invite a patient, scholarly look at the evidence.
The work is organized around three central questions—Real Presence, Adoration, and Sacrifice—each examined in turn. By weighing Scripture against the church’s formularies, the author shows how the Anglican definition of the sacrament aligns, or does not, with broader Christian concepts. The tone remains measured, inviting anyone interested in theology, liturgy, or church history to follow the argument without being overwhelmed by jargon.
Listeners will come away with a deeper appreciation of why the Anglican view on the Eucharist matters today, and with a framework for evaluating doctrinal claims in any tradition.
