Publisher's Synopsis
"This little book could thus be seen as a paper shrine to the Most Holy Eucharist. Chapters 1 and 2, "Solving the 'Chrisham Complex'?" and "Radiations through Lenses," are the narthex or entrance to the building. They adjust the perspective from a psychological point of view to that of the Christian revelation. Chapters 3 through 7 figure the nave of the building. Thus, chapter 3, "The Transubstantiation," defines what is at stake. Chapter 4, "The Holy Eucharist as Judgment," shows how the Holy Eucharist applies to our earthly lives in anticipation of eternity. Chapter 5, "Gradation of the Modes of Presence," provides a criterion to assess the Eucharistic presence. A homily rather than an essay, chapter 6, "Who Says 'Hocus Pocus'?", examines the claim for the power to transubstantiate. Chapter 7, "Eleison!-The Latin Mass in One Greek Word," describes the context in which the Holy Eucharist occurs-namely, the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.
