The Presence of Christ in the Holy Eucharist

""The Presence of Christ in the Holy Eucharist"" is a sermon that was delivered by Edward Bouverie Pusey before the University in the Cathedral Church of Christ in Oxford on the Second Sunday after Epiphany. The book is a transcript of the sermon, which focuses on the doctrine of the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist. Pusey argues that the bread and wine of the Eucharist are not merely symbols, but that they actually become the body and blood of Christ. He draws on scripture and the teachings of the Church Fathers to support this doctrine, and also addresses objections that have been raised against it. The book provides a valuable insight into the theology of the Oxford Movement, of which Pusey was a leading figure, and into the debates surrounding the Eucharist in the nineteenth century.1853. Pusey's objective throughout this Sermon was to show how, through the Holy Eucharist, we have life from our living and loving Lord Himself, recreation in Him and the earnest of endless joy and bliss in Him. To this end, he selected passages from the Fathers which spoke most fervently of the closeness of the union with our Lord, which He vouchsafes thereby to bestow upon us. He wished altogether to avoid controversy, and not to risk distracting men's minds from the one object which he desires to bring before them, the greatness of our loving Saviour's gift to them and His unspeakable goodness.
