Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the concept of 'receiving Christ as the Bread of life' as a practical aspect of religious faith. The author, who is a Doctor of Divinity, highlights the historical evolution of this concept and draws attention to a significant doctrinal shift that occurred in Catholicism. This doctrinal change involved interpreting Christ's words about consuming his flesh and blood as referring to the sacrament of the Eucharist rather than the act of faith in Christ. The author argues that interpreting Christ's words in this way introduced a new element into Christianity, affecting the way Christ is understood. From being the object of faith who nourishes believers, Christ is seen as the subject of faith, present in the bread and wine of the Eucharist. This change is viewed as having undermined the central role of the Bible and replaced it with the Church as the mediator of God's grace. The author invites readers to reflect on the evolution of this concept and its implications for a true spiritual life.
