Beskrivning
This book provides an overview of the realist eucharistic theology of the Scottish Episcopal Church, highlighting its rich history with important links to Scripture, ancient sources, theological reflection and the present. The developed realism of Scottish Episcopal eucharistic theology presents an alternative in the Anglican Communion with important historical, sacramental and ecclesial implications.Brian Douglas shows that significant realist eucharistic theology was present in Scottish Episcopalianism and its eucharistic liturgies from the Reformation onwards, with emphasis on the role of the Spirit, oblation, eucharistic presence and sacrifice and extended prayers of thanksgiving. Providing detailed reflection on the modern-day liturgical products of the Scottish Episcopalian Church and the underlying theology of the Eucharist, the book presents the theological and liturgical scholarship of Scottish Episcopalianism and the Scottish Episcopal Church on the Eucharist as an important alternative history and theology.

This meticulous analysis of the realist Scottish Episcopal eucharistic tradition challenges three assumptions: the Scottish Reformation as simply Protestant and Presbyterian, Anglican liturgy as circumscribed by the 1662 BCP, and Anglicanism as necessarily built on privilege. Here, baptismal ecclesiology is inadequate for Anglican unity: communion is crucial. Such a comprehensive study is long overdue, and indispensable for students of Anglicanism.
