The Breaking of the Bread
Description
In The Breaking of the Bread, LaVerdiere first introduced Luke’s Gospel as a chronicle of Jesus’ journeys and meals along the way to Jerusalem. In this volume, LaVerdiere continues that line of thought with the Acts of the Apostles, where Luke continues to narrate the story of the meals and hospitality found in the life of the early Church. With LaVerdiere’s eloquent and accessible scholarship, readers will rediscover the origins of both the practice and theology of the Eucharist.
“Seeing Jerusalem and Rome through Luke’s eyes, dining with Jesus and breaking bread with the early communities, we live the feast wherever we go for the rest of our lives. No place is too remote. The moveable feast of Jerusalem and Rome stays with us even ‘to the ends of the earth’ (1:8).”—From the Preface
