Lessons of Mass Instruction

My last post draws, of course, from my book The Mass of the Early Christians. That book provides the paper trail for eucharistic doctrine from generation to generation in the first three centuries of Christianity.

For a more systematic treatment of the subject, with applications to daily life, I recommend my colleague Scott Hahn’s The Lamb’s Supper. For a deeper and more demanding study, try Hahn’s Letter and Spirit: From Written Text to Living Word in the Liturgy and his Swear to God: The Promise and Power of the Sacraments. All of his books draw deeply from the Fathers.
