HOLY COMMUNION FOR AMATEURS

This latest little offering from Tom Wright is easier to read than to assess. It lures the non-specialist reader into the subject through several short, imaginative chapters in which we participate in a modern birthday party, an ancient Passover meal, the Last Supper, and an early Christian meal. He draws out a focus on forgiveness, God's past and future, the fellowship of believers and the life-changing story the meal proclaims.
