- Summary:
- Why does the Gospel of John use the word "flesh" in a passage with eucharistic overtones, rather than "body," as in Paul and the Synoptic Gospels? Especially with temple sacrifice having ended in 70 C.E., Cho argues that the Johannine concept of the Lord's Supper is strongly influenced by contemporary Greco-Roman sacred meals and the cult of Dionysus
