The Eucharistic Sacrifice, with Appended Notes

This great work by Stone, then Principal of Pusey House at Oxford University, is a compilation of six sermons preached by him at St. Paul’s Church, Knightsbridge, and St. Barnabas’ Church, Oxford, during the season of Lent in 1919. In it, Stone addresses the theological interconnections of Sacrifice, Resurrection, and Eucharist. He begins first with the sacrificial system of Old Testament, and even addresses Pagan sacrificial characteristics. He then moves forward into the Sacrifice as perfected by Christ through His Resurrection and as offered, based on His command, by the Church in the Eucharist.

These sermons are magnificent, and are compiled together into an invaluable cohesive theological work. Moreover, the thirty page “Appended Notes” included are an excellent collection of references, and by themselves make this volume worth having in every theological library.
