Doctrine of Lord’s Supper: Recommended Reading

 

The Lord’s Supper, the meal that unites, has ironically been the source of much division and controversy throughout church history. It was, in fact, the primary source of division among the sixteenth-century Reformers. Numerous books have been written on the doctrine and practice of the Lord’s Supper. The following are some that I have found to be particularly helpful.

General Works

Robert Letham. The Lord’s Supper.  Letham’s book is a brief introduction to the Reformed doctrine of the Lord’s Supper. It is a good place to start for those wanting to get a basic grasp of the issues.

John Calvin’s Doctrine

John Calvin. Treatises on the Sacraments.  This volume is a reprint of volume 2 in Calvin’s Tracts and Treatises.  It contains a number of Calvin’s writings on the Lord’s Supper, although it does not include all of them by any means.  It serves as a helpful supplement to his work on the subject in his Institutes and commentaries.
