Christ Body Eucharistic Theology: Early Church Fathers and the Early Church

What the First Christians Really Believed About the Eucharist

When modern critics question Catholic teaching on the Real Presence, where do you turn for answers? Not to recent theologians or contemporary interpretations, but to the men who learned directly from the Apostles themselves.

This meticulously researched work presents the authentic voices of Christianity's first witnesses - from Clement of Rome (96 AD) who knew Peter personally, to Ignatius of Antioch (107 AD) who called the Eucharist "the medicine of immortality," to Polycarp (155 AD), the last disciple of John the Beloved.

Written by Augustinian scholar Lombard R. Connor, this book demolishes the myth that Catholic Eucharistic doctrine was a "medieval invention." Every claim is documented with precise historical citations and original sources.
