The Mass is ever ancient, ever new, and the Church's understanding of this divine gift is ever deepening.
In this revised and expanded third edition of The Mass of the Early Christians, renowned author, speaker, and patristics scholar Mike Aquilina reveals the Church's most ancient Eucharistic beliefs and practices. Using the words of the early Christians themselves — from many documents and inscriptions — he traces the history of the Mass from the earliest days of the Church through the fourth century. That the Mass has always stood at the center of the Church's life is evident in Scripture, as well as in the earliest Christian sermons, letters, artwork, tombstones, and architecture.
These legacies from the early Church bear witness to the very worship Catholics know today.
