Dr. Lawrence Feingold

Dr. Lawrence Feingold talks about his new book “The Eucharist: Mystery of Presence, Sacrifice, and Communion.”

*Interview Below*

It’s No Mystery

It’s no mystery. Publishers send me press releases for new books. If I find one that piques my interest, I ask for a copy.

During Pascaltide, I’ve focused my radio program on the Mass and the Eucharist, so when I got the press release for Dr. Feingold’s new book on the Eucharist, I didn’t read it too carefully. I simply contacted them and asked for a copy and an interview.

The Eucharist: Mystery of Presence, Sacrifice, and Communion

With the interview scheduled, I didn’t think too much about it until the book arrived. The box felt a little heavier than I expected. I was pleasantly shocked when I discovered that this was no mere treatment of some aspect of the Eucharist, rather it’s a 674-page systematic examination of the Eucharist. My pleasure compounded when I saw how very thorough the table of contents are. Certainly, this is a book that you should read cover to cover, but there wasn’t time before the interview, and I knew just what I wanted to talk to him about. I easily found the topics of interest scattered throughout the book, thanks to the 13-page table of contents that list not only ever chapter, but every subheading as well.

I’m not sure how I missed that the imprint was from Emmaus Academic when I read the press release, but this is a worthy addition to your academic library.

Just Scratched the Surface

I had the pleasure of talking to Dr. Feingold about the Eucharist, and specifically how Christ is made present to us through the Eucharist, yet not in a quantitative or dimensional way. This is a specific part of the mystery of Transubstantiation that is difficult to wrap one’s mind around, and one that I am intensely interested in. All in all we probably only covered 20-30 pages out of the 674 pages of the book. Listen to the full interview below, then subscribe on your favorite podcast aggregator.
