{"product_id":"ascetic-eucharists-andrew-mcgowan-9780198269724","title":"Ascetic Eucharists: Food and Drink in Early Christian Ritual Meals","description":"The early Eucharist has usually been seen as sacramental eating of token bread and wine in careful or even slavish imitation of Jesus and his earliest disciples. In fact, the evidence suggests great diversity in conduct, including the use of foods, in the first few hundred years. This study describes and discusses these practices fully for the first time, and provides important new insights into the liturgical and social history of early Christianity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Andrew McGowan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0198269722\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780198269724\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Clarendon Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/29\/1999\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 328\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.24lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.88d","brand":"Andrew McGowan","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44119422206207,"sku":"9780198269724","price":335.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2cf8f033-5740-419c-a7a0-73551c424d7a.jpg?v=1687409258","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/ascetic-eucharists-andrew-mcgowan-9780198269724","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
