By George Stanley Faber

Book Overview

Christ's Discourse at Capernaum, Fatal to the Doctrine of Transubstantiation, on the Very Principle of Exposition, Adopted by the Divines of the Roman Church is a book written by George Stanley Faber in 1840. The book discusses the doctrine of transubstantiation, which is the belief that during the Eucharist, the bread and wine are transformed into the actual body and blood of Jesus Christ. Faber argues that this doctrine is not supported by Christ's discourse at Capernaum, where he speaks metaphorically about eating his flesh and drinking his blood. Faber uses the principle of exposition, which is the interpretation of scripture, to show that Christ's words were not meant to be taken literally. The book is critical of the divines of the Roman Catholic Church, who Faber believes have misinterpreted Christ's words to support their doctrine of transubstantiation. He argues that their interpretation is not in line with the principles of exposition and that it leads to a misunderstanding of the true meaning of the Eucharist. Overall, Christ's Discourse at Capernaum, Fatal to the Doctrine of Transubstantiation, on the Very Principle of Exposition, Adopted by the Divines of the Roman Church is a theological work that challenges the doctrine of transubstantiation and offers an alternative interpretation of Christ's words at Capernaum.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
