Summary:

This book is a meticulous study and English translation of Saint Paschasius Radbertus's ninth-century theological treatise "On the Body and the Blood of the Lord," alongside his Letter to Fredugard. It explores the Eucharist as a central Christian mystery, emphasizing its essence as the true body and blood of Christ, born of the Virgin Mary, crucified, resurrected, and eternal high priest. The text bridges patristic insights, such as those of Saint Augustine and Saint Ambrose, with early medieval sacramental theology, highlighting distinctions between Old Testament types and the truth of the Eucharistic mystery. Intended for scholars of theology and history, the book provides a foundational perspective on the development of Eucharistic doctrine and its relevance in contemporary theological discourse. Fr Mark G. Vaillancourt's translation and commentary ensure accessibility for modern audiences while preserving Paschasius's original insights. Generated by AI.
