Catholics and the Eucharist: A Scriptural Introduction
by Stephen B. Clark
Ann Arbor, Michigan: Servant Publications, 2000
(274 pages; $11.99, paper)
reviewed by Patrick Henry Reardon
Near the end of Catholics and the Eucharist, Stephen Clark justly comments: “Contemporary scholarly writings on the liturgy and the Eucharist contain much that is valuable, but they do not provide much helpful introductory material.” It was apparently this deficiency that Clark intended to address, and he has done so in abundance, providing what this reviewer regards as the finest effort of its kind.

—Alice von Hildebrand
"Here we do not concede one square millimeter of territory to falsehood, folly, contemporary sentimentality, or fashion. We speak the truth, and let God be our judge. . . . Touchstone is the one committedly Christian conservative journal."
