The Lord's Supper

[xapis]

Can anyone recommend some good resources (online or print) on the Reformed view and practice of Communion?

Thanks,

In print, I recommend Keith Mathison's Given for You: Reclaiming Calvin's Doctrine of the Lord's Supper. R.C. Sproul calls it a "must read."

Online, I recommend Mike Horton's "Mysteries of God & Means of Grace," (http://www.modernreformation.org/mh97means.htm) which addresses both sacraments.

Calvin's "Short Treatise on the Lord's Supper" (http://www.the-highway.com/supper1_Calvin.html) is also very helpful.

Of course, it never hurts to read what the Reformed confessions (like the Westminster Standards, 3 Forms of Unity, Second Helvetic, Scots Confession) have to say about the Supper.

I second the recommendation for Mathison's book. Definitely a must read for all Reformed Christians.

Thanks guys. I've added to my queue.

How about Chapter 29 of the Westminster Confession of Faith, Of the Lord's Supper, 8 paragraphs with proof texts.

I had assumed you were asking about the theological meaning and spiritual power of the Supper, which I think Calvin's "Short Treatise" is a good resource.

Calvin's Commentaries at 1 Cor 1:2 and 1 Cor 11:17ff are a useful resource to review.

I think there are useful sections of the Institutes on this as well, though it is something of a summary.

I would get Writings and Disputations of Thomas Cranmer Relative to the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper (http://www.amazon.com/Writings-Disputations-Cranmer-Relative-Sacrament/dp/1573832146/ref=sr_1_1/105-3399941-4262016?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1182933097&sr=8-1)
