Eucharist

"""With accessible language and theological depth, Ola Tjørhom has given us a rich, ecumenical survey of eucharistic meaning, wonderfully exploring the profound implications of the real presence of Christ in this meal. While the author does not personally know the characteristics of liturgical recovery in North America, his gracious wisdom about Norwegian practice can suggest ways forward for many regions of the church."" --Gordon W. Lathrop, professor emeritus of liturgy, United Lutheran Seminary ""Ola Tjørhom's book opens the rich ecumenical theological discourse on the meaning of the Eucharist, as well as the status of these dialogues. Furthermore, he also opens up a more profound and rich celebration of the Eucharist as the significant gift it is for all churches and Christians and for the communion given for them to celebrate together."" --Olav Fykse Tveit, presiding bishop, Church of Norway ""Informed by his rich ecumenical experience, inflected by his Lutheran roots, and inspired by an embodied spirituality, Ola Tjørhom presents the Eucharist as a sacrament in and for the whole of creation. As they 'become what they eat, ' Christians continue the work of Christ in a world that longs for his touch. This book will bring deep satisfaction to seasoned theologians and dedicated disciples alike. Take and read."" --Martha E. Stortz, professor emerita of religion, Augsburg University"
