The Lamb's Supper: The Mass As Heaven on Earth

Rating:
Summary: Wow
Review: My husband (a Protestant) and I (a fairly recent convert to Catholicism) both read this book this spring. We could not put it down! The sometimes silly chapter headings notwithstanding, this book is an incredible interpretation of both the Mass and the book of Revelation. I was aware that the book of Revelation certainly could be interpreted on four levels (what it says about our personal religious journey, what it says about the world of the Christians living at the time it was written, what it says about the future of this world, and its symbolic interpretation of God and heaven itself), but I had never made a connection between it and what we do at Mass (both Catholic and Episcopal/Church of England) and what the ancient Hebrews did in the Temple. This book is a gift from God. I plan to read and reread it many times.
