| Summary: | The early Puritans held a very high view of the meaning and practice of the sacrament of the Lord's Supper. Within many Protestant traditions today, there seems to be a significant degree of confusion regarding the theology and administration of this sacrament. In "Simeon's Embrace", a paradigm is established for understanding historical perspectives on the Lord's Supper, and suggestions are made as to how the contemporary church can reclaim the early Puritan understanding of the sacrament, which emphasized intentionality, discipline, and clarity of heart and mind. |
