2009 Catholic Press Association Award Winner! From age to age you gather a people to yourself; so that from east to west a perfect offering may be made to the glory of your name."Eucharist is the fullest expression of our life with God; a life we share with Christians throughout the ages. It is also a sensory experience; engaging us in the sights and sounds; tastes and touch of the worship. Edward Foley's revised and expanded From Age to Age draws readers into that sensory experience. He traces the development of Christian Eucharist from its Jewish roots to our own time. In addition to exploring the architecture; music; books; and vessels that contributed to each period's liturgical expressions; this edition introduces readers to the theology of each age as well as the historical and cultural contexts that shaped the Eucharist. Richly illustrated with numerous images and quotations from period texts; this book is a feast for the mind and eye. Through many examples of the visual and auditory symbols that are central to Eucharist; readers will discover how Christian worship is embodied worship that from age to age gives glory to God and sanctifies people.

4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. I enjoyed it a great dealBy Thomas D. St. HilaireIf you wanted to know just a little something about what happened in Salem; this probably isn't your book. If instead you are looking for a thorough understanding; then you won't find a more complete accounting than this! Clearly written and obviously well-researched; I enjoyed it a great deal.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Five StarsBy Mrs. Deborah L.
