About this audiobook
You are invited to sit at the table with Jesus in this insightful course.
"Do this in memory of me." Of all the teachings that Jesus imparted to his disciples, why did he ask that they remember him by sharing a meal? And what does it mean to follow his request today?
In these 12 engaging lectures, you will discover the historical context and development of the Last Supper and the Eucharist. As you explore early Christianity and the New Testament, you will come to understand communal meals as Jesus saw them: a way of sharing the Gospel.
Looking at the context in which Jesus lived, you will consider the religious significance of food in Judaism and the Greek concept of banquets. As you do so, you will come to understand Jesus' actions and what meals meant to the earliest Christians. Next, you will turn to the New Testament, exploring the Last Supper and the theme of table fellowship in Luke-Acts and the letters of Paul. Finally, you will consider the spiritual significance of sharing meals and celebrating the Eucharist. At the end of these brilliant lectures, you will emerge with a deep understanding of God's creation and lavish love.
