The Eucharist of the Latter-day Saints: The Sacrament in the Broader Christian Context

by Robin Douglas

Overview

Abstract: This paper views the sacrament prayers and rituals of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the broader context of Christian eucharistic worship, focusing on how the Latter-day Saint observances both resemble and differ from those of other Christian communities. It argues that, contrary to what is often supposed, the Church has a relatively "high" eucharistic theology.
