About the Author
Lawrence Feingold
Dr. Lawrence Feingold is Professor of Theology at Kenrick-Glennon Seminary in
St. Louis. He and his wife were Jewish atheists who were baptized together with
their infant son at the age of 29 and were received the following year into the
Catholic Church. He is the author of Touched by Christ: The Sacramental
Economy; The Eucharist: Mystery of Presence, Sacrifice, and Communion; Faith
Comes from What Is Heard: An Introduction to Fundamental Theology; The
Mystery of Israel and the Church; and The Natural Desire to See God According to
St. Thomas Aquinas and His Interpreters.
What People Are Saying
In addition to being a Catholic theologian of the highest rank, Professor Lawrence Feingold is also one of the very finest teachers in the Catholic academy today. Like his intellectual and spiritual master, St. Thomas Aquinas, Feingold not only sees deeply into Catholic truth, he also unlocks for his students the wise order by which the faith is most fully intelligible. His book on the Eucharist showcases Professor Feingold at the height of his theological and pedagogical powers. Professors of sacramental theology now have a resource that is sure to enrich their courses and the spiritual lives of their students.

A stunning achievement. Lawrence Feingold’s up-to-date study of the Eucharist is truly comprehensive, taking the reader from the book of Genesis through the Upper Room and all the way to Pope Francis. The result is a biblical, patristic, medieval, modern, and thoroughly Catholic study of the sacrament that is the ‘source and summit of the Christian life.’ And all this in clear and accessible prose! This work will be essential reading for anyone interested in Eucharistic theology for decades to come.

Professor of Sacred Scripture, Notre Dame Seminary
I believe The Eucharist: Mystery of Presence, Sacrifice, and Communion is one of the most complete and faithful guides to the Holy Eucharist available today. Dr. Feingold has written a masterful summary of the Catholic theology of the Eucharist that integrates scriptural and patristic foundations with scholastic and magisterial teachings on Eucharistic presence, the Mass as sacrifice, the participation of the faithful in the sacrifice of the Mass, the fruits of the Eucharist, adoration of the Eucharist, and contemporary canonical–pastoral questions regarding the worthy reception of Holy Communion. Drawing upon St. Thomas Aquinas and other eminent theologians, Dr. Feingold provides a treatment of the Holy Eucharist that is ideal for Catholic university and seminary classes on ‘the most august sacrament.’
