Summary:"As an idea, as an ideal and as a practice, the Eucharist has always put the most pressure on the persistent, productive tension between catholicism and catholicity. This collection investigates the possibilities of the Eucharist as symbol in its historical and contemporary dimensions. Distinguished scholars in theology, philosophy, history and anthropology explore the nature of eucharistic language, liturgical practice, the uses of Wittgenstein in Catholic theology, the operation of the Eucharist in a globalized culture, the Eucharist in the context of the Hebrew Bible and modern and medieval Judaism, and the relationship between absence and presence as understood in eucharistic practice."--Jacket.
