The Eucharist in Scripture explores the biblical theme of meals shared in faithful fellowship and in covenant relationship with God. Old Testament meals and promises provide a foundation for gospel meals with Jesus, culminating in the Last Supper as it is understood throughout the New Testament. Jesus' Bread of Life discourse and the early Church's practice of "breaking bread" are also explored.
Commentary, study and reflection questions, prayer and access to recorded lectures are included. Five lessons.

Clifford M. Yeary served for many years as the associate director
of Little Rock Scripture Study. He is the author of several Bible
studies, including The Sermon on the Mount, The Eucharist in
Scripture, Pilgrim People, and Scripture and the Rosary,
all published by Little Rock Scripture Study/Liturgical
Press.
Much of the basic content of this very practical resource is drawn
from previously published commentary by Clifford Yeary, who has
capably provided many of the Little Rock Scripture Study resources,
but the format of this workbook-like publication has been enriched
by staff to make it a valuable resource for Bible study groups and
their leaders. It provides the Old Testament background on meal
motifs and then studies the key texts related to the Eucharist in
the four gospels and in Paul. Pertinent quotations from the
Scriptures, helpful sidebars, and suggested discussion
topics—resources that will be prized by readers—are found
throughout the book.
