About this listen

In recent years, Christians everywhere are rediscovering the Jewish roots of their faith. Every year at Easter time, many believers now celebrate Passover meals (known as Seders) seeking to understand exactly what happened at Jesus' final Passover, the night before he was crucified. Jesus and the Jewish Roots of the Eucharist shines fresh light on the Last Supper by looking at it through Jewish eyes. Using his in-depth knowledge of the Bible and ancient Judaism, Dr. Brant Pitre answers questions such as:

  • What were the Jewish hopes for the Messiah?
  • What was Jesus' purpose in instituting the Eucharist during the feast of Passover?
  • And, most important of all, what did Jesus mean when he said, "This is my body...This is my blood"?
To answer these questions, Pitre explores ancient Jewish beliefs about the Passover of the Messiah, the miraculous manna from heaven, and the mysterious Bread of the Presence. As he shows, these three keys - the Passover, the manna, and the Bread of the Presence - have the power to unlock the original meaning of the Eucharistic words of Jesus. Along the way, Pitre also explains how Jesus united the Last Supper to his death on Good Friday and his Resurrection on Easter Sunday.

Inspiring and informative, Jesus and the Jewish Roots of the Eucharist is a groundbreaking work that is sure to illuminate one of the greatest mysteries of the Christian faith: the mystery of Jesus' presence in "the breaking of the bread".

This is the best book ever written on the Awesome Mystery. Every Catholic parish should use it as a bill study. Every non Catholic Christian should read it and convert. Jesus Himself awaits you in the Mysterium Tremendum.

Masterpiece!

Listening to this book was wonderful. I listened to it on my way to appointments, on the bus, the tube/metro and even while going through my morning routine. I will repeat listening to it several times as there was so much information about contextualising the Eucharist in the light of Jewish tradition, which as a Catholic I had never been aware of. The continuities between the Jewish tradition and the Eucharist are actually beautiful and masterful, and we can see God’s design in everything. This knowledge brought me even closer to understanding Jesus and the mass. Highly recommend this. I think I will also buy the book so I can view all the references.

Excellent framing of New Testament

I loved this book the narrator was excellent. It has led me to a true understanding of the Eucharist. The book is easy to understand and will bring all who listen to it to a relationship with the truth of the bible.

Totally brilliant
