After an introductory chapter indicating the relation between the Christian mass and the earlier theophagic ceremonies, particularly in Greece, the author proceeds to give a detailed account of the theological discussions, which took place mainly at the time of the Reformation, on the precise religious significance of this rite. The author throws no psychological light on the problem, but his book is a valuable and scholarly compendium of the theological elements comprising the problem.
