General Description:
A Jewel of a Book
Utterly lucid, penetrating, and humble. -Peter Kreeft
THE EUCHARIST is the source and summit of the Christian life - a sacrament of inexhaustible richness, according to the Catholic Catechism. Written to give lay Catholics a better understanding of the Eucharist, this book is recognized as a modern spiritual classic. In remarkably clear and straightforward language, it takes the reader step-by-step into the deepest mysteries of the Eucharist-a religiously exhilarating journey into the heart of the Christian faith.
A classic example of the best twentieth-century Eucharist theology -Aidan Nichols, O.P., writing in The Holy Eucharist
Remarkable for its balance, depth, and accessibility.
-Avery Cardinal Dulles, S.J.
Profound insights ...I recommend this excellent book to all Catholics who desire a better understanding of the Mass, and especially to priests.
- Father Kenneth Baker, S.J., Editor, Homiletic and Pastoral Revie
One could spend a lifetime contemplating the many dimensions of the Eucharist, and it would be a life well spent. Father Vonier's... lucid and compelling account will put into his debt Catholics who would spend their lives well.
-Richard John Neuhaus, Editor in Chief, First Things
A best-selling author in England of the 1920s-that golden age of Catholic letters when Chesterton, Knox and Belloc flourishedAbbot Vonier was a gifted intellectual who regarded his literary activity as part of the mission with which Divine Providence had charged him. Vonier penned some fifteen works of popular theology, developing "a vast company of admirers who welcomed every new book of his with enthusiasm."
Although largely forgotten today, Abbot Vonier's work remains absolutely fresh and engaging, filled with rich insight lucidly conveyed. Starting with A Key to the Doctrine of the Eucharist, Zaccheus Press plans to bring Abbot Vonier's finest works back into print for a new generation of Catholic readers.
