Publisher's Description

In what way can we consider the Lord's Supper more than just a memorial service but a means of grace? In this impressive new study, Richard Barcellos shows that the Lord's Supper is a means of grace because of what the Holy Spirit does in the souls of believers when local churches partake of it.

The study is divided under four headings:

• The terminology connected to the Lord's Supper in the New Testament
• The Biblical data which advocate the Lord's Supper as a means of grace
• The confessional and catechetical formulation of the Lord's Supper as a means of grace in the reformed tradition
• Final Thoughts

Includes a Foreword by James M. Renihan
