It is based on the prayer of thanksgiving that Jesus pronounced over the bread and wine at that meal. Eucharist means thanksgiving, praise, and blessing. The Church celebrates the Eucharist as a memorial of the death and Resurrection of Jesus Christ, which is more than a remembrance of the Last Supper of Jesus with his disciples. In the Eucharist the sacrifice of our redemption becomes present sacramentally.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the past, dogmatic theology has treated the meaning of the Eucharist while disregarding the form of its liturgical celebration, whereas liturgical studies have been content with only the latter. Yet the two cannot be separated, any more than liturgy and dogma or pastoral practice and doctrine can be understood without the other. The Church's liturgy is not something external to Christian revelation, but rather, as Joseph Ratzinger said, revelation accepted in faith and prayer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this work, Helmut Hoping combines the approaches of dogmatic theology and liturgy while examining the Eucharist from a historical and systematic perspective. This new English translation of the second German edition of this major work, revised and expanded, includes a comparative analysis of the Second Eucharistic Prayer and a chapter on the theology of the words of institution.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHelmut Hoping\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor of Dogmatics and Liturgy on the Theological Faculty of the University of Freiburg, Germany\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Ignatius Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50360909234450,"sku":"9781621641896","price":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_a57d8da8-8710-4adc-bbdd-76996fac5f0a.jpg?v=1728367372","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/my-body-given-for-you-history-and-theology-of-the-eucharist-9781621641896","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
