Summary: Good theological resource
Review: Anything that comes from the liturgical press is worth reading for Catholic reseach. This is no exception. The majority of the books of the New Testament as well as some patristic texts are explained in Eucharistic terms as well as a theme for each book ie: Dining in the Kingdom of God: The Eucharist in Luke's Gospel. LaVerdiere is clear in his statements and allows rooms for questioning early practices. He is a poet in his research as much as he is a historian.
Rating: 
Summary: Good for a while
Review: LaVerdiere does a very good job at explaining the views of the Early Church concerning the Eucharist, but is slightly repetitive. The book is full of insight, but unfortunately rephrases many of the same the same ideas over and over and over...This is a pretty good book, but will lose your interest pretty quickly. This book should not be a priority on one's list of potential Eucharistic History books.
