The Lord's Supper as a Means of Grace: More Than a Memory

Publisher's Description In what way can we consider the Lord's Supper more than just a memorial service but a means of grace? In this impressive new study, Richard Barcellos shows that the Lord's Supper is a means of grace because of what the Holy Spirit does in the souls of believers when local churches partake of it.The study is divided under four headings: The terminology connected to the Lord's Supper in the New Testament The Biblical data which advocate the Lord's Supper as a means of grace The confessional and catechetical formulation of the Lord's Supper as a means of grace in the reformed tradition Final Thoughts Includes a Foreword by James M.
