Here is a rare opportunity to observe the special significance of the Lord's Supper in believers' churches. This work gives a stimulating overview of the history, theology, and practice of the Lord's Supper in denominations that share the common heritage of believers' baptism. The essays discuss the sharing of the bread and cup, foot washing, and the love feast.
