(More customer reviews)This is a book about the Eucharist and justice, that examines the moral implications of the Eucharist by connecting Jesus' words and actions with current issues in society. McCormick approaches the subject in four categories: bread, table, body, and sacrifice. Take and Eat, addresses such topics as recognizing ourselves in hungry eaters and America's dis-ease with food. The section on body includes a discussion of solidarity with the bodies of the poor, the bodies of women, and the bodies and body of creation. Any of these topics would be a good discussion starter for a faith-sharing community with special interest in Catholic social teaching.

When Jesus spoke at the table he provided instructions for his disciples to follow. A Banqueter's Guide to the All Night Soup Kitchen of the Kingdom of God views those teachings as a set of guidelines for us to follow in all areas of life. Through the study of metaphors commonly used to describe the Eucharist, this book connects the Eucharist and Jesus's words and actions with current issues in society. Each chapter defines a metaphor associated with the Eucharist and explores its moral, social, and ethical implications. Readers will become more aware of the need for social justice as they identify with the parables and guidance of Jesus.Chapters are: "Take and Eat," "Breaking Bread," "This is My Body," and "An Unbloody Sacrifice."
