Author Book Reading: Bread of Heaven in Jesus Christ: An Imaginative Venture
It's time for another book reading! Mike Aquilina is one of my favorite modern Catholic scholars. He has done a lot to introduce us to the Early Church fathers. He is reading the chapter, "Bread of Heaven in Jesus Christ: An Imaginative Venture" from his book The Mass of the Early Christians.
If you've ever wondered if early Christianity really looked like the Catholic Church, you'll love this book. In the last chapter of the book, "Bread of Heaven in Jesus Christ: An Imaginative Venture," Mike Aquilina applies a bit of imagination to show you what the Mass would have looked like being celebrated in the early Church in the time of persecution. This is the chapter that Mike is reading for you today.
In The Mass of the Early Christians, Mike Aquilina shows you what the earliest Christians believed about the Eucharist. You'll learn how they understood Jesus' command to "Do this in remembrance of me," how they celebrated the Lord's Day, and how close their Mass was to what we celebrate as Catholics today. You'll hear these things from the penned words of the early Christians themselves.
