The book is divided under four headings :

1. The terminology connected to the Lord’s Supper in the New Testament

2. The Biblical data that supports the Lord’s Supper as a means of grace

3. The confessional formulation of the Lord’s Supper as a means of grace in the reformed tradition

4. Final Thoughts.

“Baptists have often been accused of downplaying or even ignoring the Lord’s Supper as an important part of the Christian life, and there has sadly been much evidence that such an accusation has merit. Thus, it is good to be able to recommend this book in which Baptist pastor and theologian, Richard Barcellos, reclaims the Lord’s Supper as a means of grace and argues for its significance in the life of the local congregation. It is to be hoped that this book will have a significant influence in encouraging us all to think more carefully about the role of the Supper in the life of our churches.”
