This article associates the Lord's Supper in the Synoptic Gospels and 1 Corinthians with the Passover and New Exodus motif, Application is made to contemporary issues and divisions related to the Eucharist.
2011 •
There are four primary accounts of the Last Supper in the New Testament: The three synoptic Gospels and also St. Paul's first letter to the Corinthians. The Gospel of St. John also alludes to the events on the night of the Last Supper. However, his remarks are more theological than a chronological recalling of events. Each text differs somewhat. Some of the differences are due to the different themes and purpose each author had in writing about the event. However, there are also differences that are perplexing and continue to puzzle scholars and even cause divisions in Christendom.
This outlines the East/West argument over communion and whether Christ was the passover lamb. The church today has uncritically embraced many of the West positions on communion. This paper will look again at a very old argument...
In the wake of the Reformation in Europe a number of Christian doctrines were being reinterpreted. This included the Eucharist. The ‘traditional’ and ‘orthodox’ Roman Catholic view of the Eucharist was being challenged. The Roman view was that of transubstantiation; that the bread and wine truly become the flesh and blood and Jesus. On this edifice rested a number of other doctrines. These included the justification that only the bread needed to be given to the congregation. That the Eucharist was a propitiatory sacrifice which effected grace for the one who partakes. Finally, the Roman Church held that the elements of the Eucharist, being truly Christ, deserved reverence and even worship. In their zeal to differentiate themselves from Rome, and return to true doctrine, the Reformers developed their own understandings of the Eucharist. Luther held to consubstantiation, that Christ was present under the form of bread and wine. Zwingli held to a ‘Memorial’ understanding, where the bread and wine are symbols that point to the objective work of Christ on the Cross, with Jesus being spiritually present. Calvin held to the ‘Real Presence’ of Christ of in the Eucharist. That is Holy Spirit communicates the presence of Christ to the faithful. However, in their efforts to understand the Eucharist the Reformers forgot that they were united in Christ and against Rome. Forgetting where the true dividing lines are.
Typology studies how Christ is foreshadowed in the Old Testament. From the first words of the Old Testament God begins to reveal himself to man. This essay will explain the way in which God gradually reveals Jesus Christ in the Genesis and Exodus.

Passed Over: The Haggadah and the Origins of the Eucharistic Anaphora in the New Testament and Early Christian Literature2013 •
Over the last century, with the explosion of research in the areas of New Testament Study and the liturgy of the early church, there has been significant discussion of the origins of the central act of Christian worship: the celebration of the Eucharist. Early on, there were attempts to identify the origin of the eucharistic anaphora within a specific Jewish prayer, the Birkat HaMazon, while more recent scholarship has attempted to situate the origin of the Eucharist within broader Greco-Roman banquet customs. By and large, the connection between the Eucharist and the Passover has been disregard or, where it is considered, situates the eucharistic prayer in the context of Grace After Meals, thus creating a circumstance of difference without distinction. This paper proposes that, despite the textual difficulties of situating the Last Supper in the context of a Passover, the Pesach liturgy may provide insight into the way the early Eucharist may have been celebrated, not by looking at a specific prayer, but in the didactic elements of the Pesach Seder.
