“This is my body”? A memorialist reading

ABSTRACT: One common argument in defense of the Real Presence understanding of the Eucharist draws from Jesus’s words of institution: “This is my body.” In this video, I argue that a Memorialist reading of Jesus’s words as symbolic is most natural and appropriate. I read from my book, Eating Christ’s Flesh: A Case for Memorialism (Cascade, 2023).
