Helpful overview of significance of the Eucharist

I haven't had chance to read the whole of this work, yet, but have just read Martin's excellent chapter entitled 'The Table of the Lord', in preparation for a sermon I'll be preaching on the subject. He gives a thorough, though concise, overview of where scholarship has taken us in regards to understanding the biblical teaching on the Lord's Supper over the past 50 years or so, and summarises well the main biblical emphases of this important doctrine. I found it invaluable, stimulating both my mind and my heart.
