Publisher's Synopsis
""The Presence of Christ in the Holy Eucharist"" is a sermon delivered by Edward Bouverie Pusey before the University in the Cathedral Church of Christ in Oxford on the Second Sunday after Epiphany. The sermon explores the idea of Christ's presence in the sacrament of the Holy Eucharist, discussing the different interpretations of this presence and its importance in the Christian faith. Pusey argues that Christ is truly present in the Eucharist, and that this presence is not merely symbolic but has a real and transformative effect on the believer. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and theology of the Eucharist, and provides a compelling defense of the traditional understanding of Christ's presence in the sacrament.1853. Pusey's objective throughout this Sermon was to show how, through the Holy Eucharist, we have life from our living and loving Lord Himself, recreation in Him and the earnest of endless joy and bliss in Him. To this end, he selected passages from the Fathers which spoke most fervently of the closeness of the union with our Lord, which He vouchsafes thereby to bestow upon us. He wished altogether to avoid controversy, and not to risk distracting men's minds from the one object which he desires to bring before them, the greatness of our loving Saviour's gift to them and His unspeakable goodness.
