Description: "The primary purpose of this book is to introduce, explain, and defend a particular doctrine of the Lord's Supper--the doctrine taught by John Calvin and most of the sixteenth-century Reformed confessions. It is the thesis of this book that Calvin's doctrine of the Lord's Supper is the biblical doctrine, the basic doctrine of the sixteenth century Reformed churches, and the doctrine that should be reclaimed and proclaimed in the Reformed church today."
