“This book is an essay in liturgical theology,” writes Max Thurian, “It is in fact a study in biblical theology which seeks to provide a firm basis for the eucharistic liturgy in the great Judaeo-Christian tradition represented by the Scriptures.” From the insights which came to him within the Brotherhood of Taize in France, Max Thurian believes that the real presence of Christ must be studied within the ‘liturgical action’ and not isolated as a separate theological problem. In the Reformed tradition of Taize he turns, therefore, to a study of the Scriptures and opens the Scriptural meaning of the Eucharistic memorial as seen in the Old and New Testaments. Volume I deals with the Old Testament background.
Max Thurian was sub-prior of the Taize Community, the first monastic community for men founded in the Churches of the Reformed or Lutheran tradition, and was editor of the theological review Verbum Caro. He is also the translator of Mary: Mother of the Lord, Figure of the Church (1963, 1985), Our Faith: Basic Christian Belief (1982), Priesthood and Ministry: Ecumenical Research (1983), The Mystery of the Eucharist: An Ecumenical Approach (1983) and Confession (1985).
