At the time of the Second Vatican Council, one of the central issues in theological discussion was the question of the Eucharist, particularly as regards the meaning of Real Presence. In the following years the theology of the sacrament entered a quieter period, and it s only recently that significant writing on the subject has got under way once again. This book is a further contribution to this new wave of reflection, treating questions not only of Real Presence but of whole range of Eucharistic theology. In so doing Raymond Moloney draws together the fundamental tenets of Eucharist and projects a synthesis of it with the rest of the faith and life.
