Ekaristi: Perjamuan Paskah Yesus, Akar Yahudi dan Kebaruan Kristianinya

Abstrak

The Eucharist, which we celebrate today, has various aspects of spiritual richness worth to study. For an in-depth study on the Eucharist, the historical-biblical approach would be helpful, since such an approach would hopefully reveal its essential dimensions seen from a Christian perspective, namely, as a sign of grace which confers the grace it signifies. This study, using such a historical-biblical approach, tends to reveals the essential dimensions of the Eucharist starting precisely from its origin, namely, Jesus’ Last Supper arranged before his passion, death and burial. Rooted deeply in Jewish tradition, it shows its proper character as a Christian rite of salvation having Jesus’ sacrificial self-giving as its essential novelty.
