The Meal Jesus Gave Us

While obviously too brief to contain a full scholarly dissection of what Wright calls the “Jesus-meal” and all the theology and theories connected to it, this book is an excellent read for the average Christian looking for a starting point to grow in their understanding or to experience communion more richly.

This is a brilliant summary of what the Bible teaches us about the Jesus-meal. With his trademark clarity and enthusiasm, Wright gets to the core of what we are doing at the Lord's supper, why we do it, and who we are celebrating.

The only drawback is that you will want more!!
