Everywhere and at all times, the Christian Church has celebrated, in one form or another, the Lord's Supper. This unanimity testifies to the importance that she has always attached to this act. But Christians have also been very divided regarding the meaning, effectiveness and methods of administering the Lord's Supper.
In this book, Alfred Kuen examines:
- What the biblical texts teach us.
- Is it a sacrament or a symbolic act?
- What is the meaning of the words “This is my body”?
- Different meanings of the Lord's Supper?
- How has it been understood and practiced for 20 centuries?
- Who can participate? Also the children?
- How does the problem of intercommunion arise?
- Practical questions:
- When and how to celebrate the Lord's Supper?
- With what elements?
- Collective cut or individual cuts?
- Who can preside, who can distribute the supper?
