    About this ebook

    The nineteenth century Eucharistic controversy between Charles Hodge and John Williamson Nevin is an important episode in the history of American Christianity. Hodge and Nevin battled over issues that lie at the heart of Christian faith and piety, such as: Why did God become man? What bearing does the incarnation of Christ have on the redemption of the world? How are believers on earth united with the ascended Christ who is in heaven? Is Christ really present in the Lord's Supper? And if so, then how is he made to be present? These are just a few of the age-old questions that Charles Hodge and John W. Nevin sought to answer, and over which they came to vigorously contend. Incarnation and Sacrament provides an in-depth historical and theological analysis and assessment of the controversy that arose between these two great nineteenth century American theologians. By doing so, it aims to provide some illumination on the theological heritage of the Protestant churches in the United States of the twenty-first century.

      This is a fantastic overview of the controversy between Hodge and Nevin on the doctrine of the Lord's Supper. Though Hodge, due to his reputation and the prestige of Princeton, is remembered and Nevin all but forgotten, I wish Nevin's view on the Supper had won the day. It will seem bizarre to many evangelicals today, but that is only a statement of how far we have fallen away from the early Reformed understanding of the sacrament. Honestly, the Reformed understanding had more in common with the Roman Catholic view than it does with contemporary evangelical views. Again, Bonomo's short book is a good introduction and may serve as an open door to some into a deeper appreciation of the mystery and miracle of Christ's presence in the Supper.
