- More about The Lost Supper: Revisiting Passover and the Origins of the Eucharist
Jesus intended to convey his identity through the Passover ritual by using the symbol of a piece of bread. This perspective provides a historical understanding of the Eucharist and challenges Christian assumptions about its celebration.
Format: Paperback / softback
Length: 188 pages

Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield
The significance of Jesus' words, "This is my body," during the Last Supper is explored in The Lost Supper. According to the book, Jesus' words and actions at the meal presupposed an already existing Passover ritual in which the messiah was represented by a piece of bread. Jesus was not introducing new symbolism but rather employing an established symbol to refer to himself. Matthew Colvin, in his book, places Jesus' words in the Upper Room within the context of historically attested Jewish thought about Passover. By doing so, he offers a fresh perspective on the Eucharist, presenting a credible first-century Jewish understanding of the Last Supper and the Lord's Supper. This perspective also informs a sacramentology evident in the letters of the apostle Paul. By adopting this perspective, we gain a historical foundation to challenge and correct Christian assumptions about the Eucharist, both in the past and present. It helps us understand the proper way to celebrate this sacred ritual.
