“For, whenever this matter is discussed, when I have tried to say all, I feel that I have as yet said little in proportion to its worth. And although my mind can think beyond what my tongue can utter, yet even my mind is conquered and overwhelmed by the greatness of the thing.”
Keanu Heydari
my quick summary of Calvin’s view of the Eucharist is this:
Christ does NOT descend to become bread at the Table;
Instead, at the Table, WE ARE ASCENDED to be with Christ.

I’m finally reading the chapter on Eucharist in the Institutes (Bk IV, Chpt 17), and it is wild to see how the Reformed view on spiritual presence is leveraged through Calvin’s understanding of Christology — and Augustine!
and he spends a *lot* of time on this topic (this chapter has 50 sections!)
