Unpacks Ignatius' insights on Eucharist and sacrifice

You will deepen your understanding of Christian unity

This book explores the deep connections between martyrdom, sacrificial libation, and the Eucharist in Ignatius of Antioch's teachings.

Frederick G. Klawiter argues that in Ignatius’ eucharist, a wine libation symbolized the pouring out of Jesus’ blood in his sacrificial death. By drinking from the libation cup in the eucharist/agape meal, Christians sought unity of agape with one another and the crucified, risen Jesus—while anticipating the possibility of martyrdom.
