Jesus called the Eucharist by the name Christians subsequently gave to the latter books of the Holy Bible. It was the \"New Covenant,\" the \"New Testament,\" in his blood. Christians later extended the phrase to cover the books produced by the apostles and their companions; but they did so because these were the books that could be read at Mass. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis simple and demonstrable historical fact has enormous implications for the way we read the Bible. In \u003ci\u003eConsuming the Word: The New Testament and the Eucharist\u003c\/i\u003e in the Early Church, Dr. Scott Hahn undertakes an examination of some of Christianity's most basic terms to discover what they meant to the sacred authors, the apostolic preachers, and their first hearers. Moreover, at a time when the Church is embarking on a New Evangelization he draws lessons for Christians today to help solidify their understanding of the why it is Catholics do what Catholics do. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAnyone acquainted with the rich body of writing that flows so inspiringly from the hand and heart of Dr. Hahn knows that he brings profound personal insight to his demonstrated theological expertise,\" writes Cardinal Donald Wuerl in the foreword to the book. \u003ci\u003eConsuming the Word\u003c\/i\u003e continues in that illustrious tradition. It brings us a powerful and welcome guide as we take our place in the great and challenging work in sharing the Good News.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDR.
