Reviews

[Jeff · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book combines four sermons MacArthur preached on the Lord's Supper from Matthew 26:17-30 and 1 Corinthians 11:17-34. These are not sermon transcripts, but more extensive outlines. There is some overlap between the sermons. Overall, it's a helpful study. He didn't get into some issues surrounding the supper, and he probably addressed some we don't hear frequently. I differ with some of his interpretive conclusions and also in some of the underlying theological assumptions. It is certainly worth having if you are studying those passages, or the Lord's Supper more generally.
