Much of the basic content of this very practical resource is drawn from previously published commentary by Clifford Yeary, who has capably provided many of the Little Rock Scripture Study resources, but the format of this workbook-like publication has been enriched by staff to make it a valuable resource for Bible study groups and their leaders. It provides the Old Testament background on meal motifs and then studies the key texts related to the Eucharist in the four gospels and in Paul. Pertinent quotations from the Scriptures, helpful sidebars, and suggested discussion topics—resources that will be prized by readers—are found throughout the book.The Bible Today
