Making a Meal of It explores the background and implication of the Lord's Supper. Delving into its historical and Scriptural origins, Witherington argues that the Lord's Supper is a sacramental celebration of the community of God, designed to incorporate people of varying backgrounds. Excavating the diverse ways in which Scripture and early Christian tradition speak about the Lord's Supper, Witherington advocates that the meal is primarily about who the people of God are and how they should thus live together.
Witherington provides compelling answers to many of the crucial issues. - E. Arnold, Professor and Chairman, Department of New Testament, Talbot School of Theology, Biola University
In sum, this volume is an excellent model of how scholars can serve the church by applying multiple disciplines to important issues in the church and making the results available in an accessible manner -- Matthew S. Harmon, Grace Theological Seminary -- Bulletin for Biblical Research
