Christians everywhere are rediscovering the Jewish roots of their faith.
Jesus and the Jewish Roots of the Eucharist shines fresh light on the Last Supper by looking at it through Jewish eyes. Using his in-depth knowledge of the bible and Jewish traditions, Dr. Brant Pitre answers questions such as:
What was the Passover like at the time of Jesus?
What were the Jewish hopes for the Messiah?
What was Jesus' purpose in instituting the Eucharist during the feast of Passover?
And most important of all, what did Jesus mean when he said, "This is my body...This is my blood"?
"In the Mass-in the 'blood of the new and everlasting covenant' -Christ fulfills the rites of the old covenant. This beautiful book by Brant Pitre shows us that fulfillment in loving detail. We gain an appreciation of what was, so that we can see, ever more clearly, what is 'now and ever more shall be.' Clear, profound and practical-you do not want to miss this book." -Scott Hahn, author of The Lamb's Supper.
