Reviews

Matthew Colvin has written an outstanding study of the Lord's Supper. Deploying a vast knowledge of ancient Rabbinic and biblical sources, and of modern scholarly literature, he argues that at the Last Passover Supper Jesus redefines an existing bread rite to identify himself as Israel's long-awaited Messiah. Not content with tracing origins, he explains the theological consequences of seeing the Last Supper through ancient Jewish eyes, rather than through the lenses of Aristotelian metaphysics or ancient semiotics. There is some dynamite hidden in these carefully argued pages, and I hope Colvin's book receives the wide readership and lively discussion it deserves. -- Peter Leithart, Theopolis Institute
