The Ongoing Feast: Table Fellowship and Eschatology at Emmaus

Rating:
Summary: Superb Exegetical Study of Pivotal NT Chapter
Review: Luke 24 is one of my favorites, and Just does admirably well in tracing through table fellowship as an expression of eschatological kingdom.

The pattern that develops is sacramental and incarnational, centering of course on Christ. Thus, Christology is front and center and prominent.

The author finds five meal sequences in Luke's Gospel which he thus harmonizes and develops into its fullness in Jesus opening the eyes at the Emmaus meal.

Will benefit anyone serious about contemplating the meaning of the Easter event as well as Good Friday and communion koinonia today from the Lukan viewpoint.
