Matthew Levering 
Sacrifice and Community [PDF ebook] 
Jewish Offering and Christian Eucharist

This book explores the character of the Eucharist as communion in
and through sacrifice. It will stimulate discussion because of its
controversial critique of the dominant paradigm for Eucharistic
theology, its reclamation of St Thomas Aquinas’s theology of
the Eucharist, and its response to Pope John Paul II’s
Ecclesia de Eucharistia.
* * Argues that the Eucharist cannot be separated from sacrifice,
and rediscovers the biblical connections between sacrifice and
communion.
* * Timed to coincide with the Year of the Eucharist, proclaimed by
Pope John Paul II.
* * Reclaims the riches of St Thomas Aquinas’s theology of
the Eucharist, which had recently been reduced to a metaphysical
defence of transubstantiation.
