Ten Models of the Eucharist

Models of the Eucharist by Kevin Irwin outlines 10 views of the Liturgy of the Eucharist. In my quest to understand the  Eucharist, this book added background information and clear succinct explanations of the Eucharistic rite. I read it slowly because this book is a work for academics. I enjoyed my daily readings and often looked forward to my reading time. Model One--Our meals are related to the Eucharistic meal. From the Last Supper to the present. Model Two--Everyone has a role in the Eucharist Model Three--Tieing the Liturgy of the Word to the Liturgy of the Eucharist. Model Four--Exegesis of "Do this in memory of me." Model Five--Blood of the sacrificial lambs relates to Jesus Model Six--History of the laity participation. Model Seven--The Offertory is examined. Model Eight--Theology of sacrifice. Model Nine--Jesus is truly present. Model Ten--The work of the Holy Spirit in all the people. Conclusion--Historical and Theological explanation.
