The Eucharist: Grammar of Thanksgiving

By Marc Philip Boulos

In The Eucharist: Grammar of Thanksgiving, Marc Philip Boulos offers a fierce and sweeping hearing of Scripture through the shared grammar of Hebrew, Greek, Arabic, and the Abrahamic scrolls. Moving from Luke 9:1-17 to Deuteronomy, from Ezekiel's dry bones to the Qurʾanic wilderness, from the manna to the feeding of the five thousand, this book argues that the Eucharist is not a doctrine to be explained or a ritual to be owned. It is thanksgiving: God's provision received under command and given for the life of the neighbor.

Against every tower human beings build-nation, tribe, ideology, institution, theology, and self-the book insists on one uncompromising claim: nothing belongs to us. Not the land, not the covenant, not the bread, not the word, not the neighbor, not even the future. Everything is received from the hand of God.

At the center stands the table in the wilderness, where scarcity is exposed as unbelief and the bread of God's word is broken for all. To eat eucharistically is to hear, receive, give thanks, and be bound into the bundle of the living.

The final question is the archangel's question: Who is like God?

The answer is the beginning of worship: No one.
