Publisher's Synopsis
The Sacrament of the Lord's Supper Explained: Or The Things To Be Known And Done, To Make A Worthy Communicant is a book written by Edmund Gibson in 1813. The book provides a detailed explanation of the sacrament of the Lord's Supper, also known as Holy Communion, and outlines the necessary steps to become a worthy communicant. The book is divided into several chapters, each addressing a specific aspect of the sacrament. The first chapter provides an overview of the history and significance of the Lord's Supper, while the second chapter discusses the importance of self-examination before participating in the sacrament. Subsequent chapters cover topics such as the proper disposition and preparation for receiving communion, the role of confession and absolution, and the significance of the bread and wine used in the sacrament. The book also includes practical advice for those who are unable to attend church regularly, as well as guidance for parents who wish to teach their children about the sacrament. Throughout the book, Gibson emphasizes the importance of approaching the sacrament with reverence and humility, and stresses the need for communicants to be in a state of grace before participating. The Sacrament of the Lord's Supper Explained is a valuable resource for anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of this important sacrament in the Christian faith.With Suitable Prayers And Meditations.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
