One thing virtually every Christian minister does at some point is lead in the serving of the Lord’s Supper. New Testament professor Ben Witherington has offered us a valuable discussion of this important element of worship in his book Making a Meal of It: Rethinking the Theology of the Lord’s Supper (Baylor Univ. Press). He discusses the background of the Eucharist, the biblical discussion of it, and how the practice developed in the church. This is a fascinating and useful book for any pastor.
