Most Christians claim to know to Jesus as a friend or guide, as an inspiration and model. We adore him and even worship him. But what happens when you have him for dinner? This book explores the development of the meal practice of Jesuss followers as they move from having Jesus as the guest at their table, to having Jesus as the main course. Most believers dont give it a second thought now, but that is a dramatic change. Initially Jesus is the host at a common shared meal that signaled acceptance to all. In a few short years, Christians began eating Jesus as an act of devotion. Jesusthe bread of life. Jesusthe true vine. How did this the shift from community to cannibalism take place? Does it make sense relative to Jesuss stated mission? And what have been the consequences of taking what began as ordinary shared supper and turning it into a symbolic and ritualized sacrament? Join Christopher Levan as we go from bread recipes to first-century meal practice. Well recline with other disciples and relive the joys of having Jesus as the host and ask if we can reset the table of the Lord for the twenty-first century.
