The Doctrine of the Lord's Supper. As Taught by the Church of England

An Anglican clergyman systematically examines whether the Church of England teaches a real, objective presence of Christ in the Eucharistic elements. He frames the debate under three headings—Real Presence, Adoration, and Sacrifice—and investigates the Church’s own authoritative documents rather than Scripture or secondary authorities. The study contrasts the Roman view of substantive change in bread and wine with a Reformation position that the elements remain materially unchanged and that believers feed spiritually on Christ by faith. Emphasizing a sacramental distinction between material emblem and spiritual food, the work aims to ascertain which interpretation the Church’s language supports.
