Reader reviews for The Agape And The Eucharist In The Early Church: Studies In The History Of The Christian Love-Feasts

From the publisher

""The Agape and the Eucharist in the Early Church: Studies in the History of the Christian Love-Feasts"" is a scholarly work by J.F. Keating that delves into the practices and beliefs of the early Christian church regarding communal meals, specifically the Agape (or love-feast) and the Eucharist. The book examines the historical and theological development of these practices, their relationship to each other, and their significance in early Christian worship.Keating draws on a wide range of primary sources, including early Christian writings, liturgical texts, and archaeological evidence, to explore the origins and evolution of the Agape and the Eucharist. He also considers the social and cultural context in which these practices emerged, and how they were influenced by the broader religious and philosophical traditions of the ancient world.Throughout the book, Keating emphasizes the importance of understanding the early Christian love-feasts as a central aspect of the early church's communal life and worship. He argues that the Agape and the Eucharist were not separate practices, but rather two aspects of a single, integrated liturgical tradition that reflected the church's understanding of the nature of God's love and the role of the community in expressing that love.Overall, ""The Agape and the Eucharist in the Early Church"" offers a comprehensive and insightful exploration of a key aspect of early Christian worship, and will be of interest to scholars and students of early Christianity, liturgy, and religious history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
