The Lord's Supper meets us in the biblical texts as a visible sign of communion from the spirit of love. The current church practice of the Lord's Supper, on the other hand, is perceived as a symbol of denominational separation and as a barrier between the denominations. Based on the biblical testimonies and without getting lost in historically outdated details, Helmut Fischer traces those decisive developmental steps and course settings that have led to the denominational positions. Thus, the characteristics of the Lord's Supper in the various denominations clearly emerge. This enables readers to assess what will be possible in the foreseeable future in the area of ecumenical communion practice and how they can actively engage in the conversation.
