About This Book

A scholarly study examines the origins and evolution of the Eucharistic rite by comparing Gospel narratives and confessional formulations, reassessing Schleiermacher's suggestion that no explicit command for repetition exists, and reviewing nineteenth‑century historical research. It traces how early Christian, medieval, Reformation, and modern interpretations treated the meal, searches for recurring principles that govern changing doctrines, and addresses why the rite arose in the first communities yet became institutionalized. Through critical textual analysis and historical comparison the work proposes a coherent account intended to explain the sacrament's development across periods.

About the Author

Albert Schweitzer

Albert Schweitzer was a multifaceted figure known for his contributions as a theologian, philosopher, physician, and musician. Born in 1875 in Alsace, he became renowned for his work in the fields of ethics and the historical study of Jesus. His influential book, "The Quest of the Historical Jesus," critically examined the life and teachings of Jesus from a historical perspective. Schweitzer's commitment to humanitarian work led him to establish a hospital in Gabon, Africa, where he practiced medicine for many years. His philosophy emphasized the importance of reverence for life, which has had a lasting impact on ethical thought and environmentalism.
