This third edition of the late Nathan D. Mitchell’s seminal work brings his historical scholarship on Eucharistic practices into dialogue with twentieth-century Eucharistic theology. His reflections on the transformative power of the Eucharist remain essential for parish life and for how Sunday Mass is celebrated today. Key highlights of this work include:

  • Teachings on the Eucharist as provided in the Catechism of the Catholic Church
  • Contemporary biblical scholarship centered upon Jesus and the Eucharist
  • Challenging reflections upon the nature of real presence and how that effects the life of the Church
  • Synopsis of European Eucharistic scholarship of theologians Jean-Luc Marion Herbert McCabe and Catherine Pickstock

Included in this edition is a new foreword by Kimberly Hope Belcher.

Available as an ebook on Amazon, Google Books, and Apple Books.

“Nathan Mitchell was always a groundbreaker. In Real Presence he introduced American Catholics to the vision that the Jesus of the Gospels is the one who is present and active in every Eucharistic celebration, and the one on whose sacramental Body and Blood they feed. Nathan continues to be missed by those of us who knew him.”

“This is a stunning tour de force reflecting Dr. Mitchell’s knowledge and deep familiarity with liturgy, theology, philosophy, history, music, and contemporary critics (pro and con) of the present liturgy. He is as at home in discussing Ignatius of Antioch, Augustine, and Thomas Aquinas as he is with Catherine Pickstock, Herbert McCabe, and Jean-Luc Marion. Mitchell’s main argument about the Eucharist is that it is an event and an action. As such, the book is an example of premier liturgical and sacramental theology, itself always a work in progress. It argues for a subtle reorienting of the Eucharist as adoration to Eucharist as the primary enactment of ‘the mystery of faith.’”
