Consuming the Word: The New Testament and the Eucharist in the Early Church by Scott Hahn, 146 pages
This short book is an examination of the role of Scripture in the early Church, particularly highlighting the connection between Scripture and the Divine Liturgy, the unity between the Word of God incarnate in Jesus Christ, the Word of God as He is proclaimed in the Scriptures, and the Word of God as He is received in the Eucharist. Hahn draws upon a wide range of patristic and contemporary sources, but his purpose is less scholarly than devotional, and transparently personal - himself drawn deeper into the interconnected mysteries of the Bible and the Mass, he hopes to draw the reader in with him.
