Synopsis

In this book, Toddy Hoare looks at the symbolism in St. John's Gospel of the bread and wine as the background to Holy Communion, focusing on the cup, which in the Old Testament is a cup of wrath and judgment but which in the New Testament becomes a cup of blessing and salvation. The writer's deceit is to link the cup and the contents of wine to the cup the groom drinks and breaks at a Jewish wedding, taking the idea from Christ describing himself as the groom and us, the church, as his bride.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Toddy Hoare trained and practised as a sculptor, served as a soldier with the 15/19 King's Royal Hussars, and spent time with the Missions to Seamen in the Europoort, Holland, before ordination and then twenty-five years as a rural parish priest in North Yorkshire (known locally as Herriotshire, since the author lived in the same group of five parishes). He used sculpture to illustrate Scripture and theology. Latterly, on retirement, he reflected on life and where God was to be found with poetry, some based on peace studies in Oxford. He is now back home in North Yorkshire retired from parish life but taking Sunday services to feed the sheep in a wide radius from home due to the lack of parish priests and the Church of England facing in the wrong direction!
