The Lord's Supper

[xapis]

Can anyone recommend some good resources (online or print) on the Reformed view and practice of Communion?

Thanks,

In print, I recommend Keith Mathison's Given for You: Reclaiming Calvin's Doctrine of the Lord's Supper. R.C. Sproul calls it a "must read."

Online, I recommend Mike Horton's "Mysteries of God & Means of Grace," which addresses both sacraments.

Calvin's "Short Treatise on the Lord's Supper" is also very helpful.

Of course, it never hurts to read what the Reformed confessions (like the Westminster Standards, 3 Forms of Unity, Second Helvetic, Scots Confession) have to say about the Supper.

I second the recommendation for Mathison's book. Definitely a must read for all Reformed Christians.

How about Chapter 29 of the Westminster Confession of Faith, Of the Lord's Supper, 8 paragraphs with proof texts.

I had assumed you were asking about the theological meaning and spiritual power of the Supper, which I think Calvin's "Short Treatise" is a good resource.

Calvin's Commentaries at 1 Cor 1:2 and 1 Cor 11:17ff are a useful resource to review.

I think there are useful sections of the Institutes on this as well, though it is something of a summary.

I would get Writings and Disputations of Thomas Cranmer Relative to the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper
