In Dining in the Kingdom of God, Eugene LaVerdiere brought to light the origins of the eucharist in the Gospel of Luke. Yet Luke wrote another powerful book of the New Testament: the Acts of the Apostles. Acts picks up where the Gospel left off, and Luke tells us how the members of the church recovered after the death of Jesus and came to trust in his true presence with them in "the breaking of the bread", a rite that has continued uninterrupted since then. In this new volume, LaVerdiere traces Luke's further development of the practice and theology of the eucharist. The Breaking of the Bread is a must for anyone interested in the origins and development of the eucharist.
