Taste and See That the Lord is Good (with James Arcadi)

What are the metaphysical and spiritual realities going on when we receive the Communion? Dr. James Arcadi joins us to discuss the English Reformer and father of Anglican liturgy Thomas Cranmer, Cranmer's theology of the Holy Eucharist, and the spectrum of beliefs on the Eucharist across Christianity.

Dr. Arcadi is the Professor of Biblical and Systematic Theology at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School in Deerfield, Illinois. He is the author of the book An Incarnational Model of the Eucharist (Cambridge University Press, 2018).

In this episode, we discuss content from Dr. Arcadi's  articles “Discerning the Body of Christ: a Retrieval of Thomas Cranmer’s Eucharistic Theology by Way of the Spiritual Senses” from the Journal of Anglican Studies and "Recent Philosophical Work on the Doctrine of the Eucharist" from Philosophy Compass.
