- ". . . The Lord's Supper should be celebrated frequently in the church, and there is good reason for doing so on each Lord's Day."- "The Lord's Supper today should be open to all who wish to feed on Christ and profess faith in him."- "The New Testament envisages the use of one loaf and a common cup. It would be good to maintain this symbolism today."These are but three of several provocative conclusions reached by the distinguished theologian I. Howard Marshall in this easy-to-understand and comprehensive survey of the New Testament accounts of the Lord's supper.This book explores the nature of other sacred meals in the ancient world, principally Jewish; the relationship to one or other of the biblical accounts themselves; the nature of the meal celebrated by the early church; the significance of the Last Supper as demonstrated by Jesus; and then as demonstrated by the early church. Understanding the supper as a Passover meal, Marshall shows the meal's orientation towards the death, resurrection and second coming of Jesus and its centrality to the life of the church. In doing so, he draws out a number of principles important for the Christian community today. I. Howard Marshall is Professor of New Testament and the University of Aberdeen. He has written numerous books including Biblical Inspiration and I Believe in the Historical Jesus.

Is the Bible infallible? Can we believe in its inspiration and practice biblical criticism? How is the Bible to be interpreted for today?I. Howard Marshall's answers to these questions will be helpful to all biblical students who are puzzled and confused by current discussions of biblical inspiration and authority. Biblical Inspiration will help to reassure conservative students regarding the value of critical study of the Bible, and will clear away much misunderstanding that the conservative view of the Bible is obscurantist and unscholarly.

Yet opinions differ widely as to the reliability of theNew Testament record of his life.In I Believe in the Historical Jesus, Marshall surveys the quest for thehistorical Jesus from the 19th century to the present, examines the methodsused to extract historical information from the gospels, and investigatesthe role faith plays in a study of the life of Jesus.The gospel accounts of Jesus are reliable historically, not merely literaryproductions impossible to penetrate from an historical perspective, andMarshall's work is a ringing affirmation of belief in the historical Jesus.This edition includes a new epilogue and updated bibliography.I.
