"As they were eating, Jesus took bread, blessed and broke it, gave it to the disciples, and said, âTake and eat it; this is My body.â" -Matthew 26:26 (HCSB) A follow-up to Believerâs Baptism in the New American Commentary Studies in Bible & Theology series, The Lordâs Supper explores the current Baptist view of the communion sacrament. Contributors include Andreas Köstenberger ("The Lordâs Supper as a Passover Meal"), Jonathan Pennington ("The Last Supper in the Gospels"), Jim Hamilton ("The Lordâs 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.
