The Doctrine of the Lord's Supper. As Taught by the Church of England
Transcribed from the 1877 Hatchards edition by David Price
"The Doctrine of the Lord's Supper. As Taught by the Church of England" by Rev. E. Hoare is a theological treatise written in the late 19th century. This book examines the doctrine of the Eucharist within the context of the teachings of the Church of England, addressing common misconceptions about the nature of Christ’s presence in the Lord's Supper. The work is particularly timely as it reflects on the controversies surrounding the interpretation of sacraments, specifically concerning the Real Presence, adoration, and sacrifice, during a period of significant theological debate. In this text, Hoare systematically analyzes the Church of England's authoritative documents, including the Articles, Catechism, Liturgy, and Homilies, to elucidate the church's position on the Lord's Supper. He challenges the notion of transubstantiation—the idea that the bread and wine literally become the body and blood of Christ—arguing instead that the elements remain unchanged, serving as signs that bring spiritual nourishment through faith. Hoare’s conclusion maintains that the gifts of the Eucharist are spiritual rather than physical, and he emphasizes that the act of communion must be understood within the framework of faith, discarding the belief in any material change in the elements of bread and wine. Through his detailed examination, Hoare aims to promote a clearer understanding of the doctrines upheld by the Church of England and to fortify the faith of those concerned about the integrity of their beliefs amidst prevalent theological confusion.
