Talks
The Eucharistic Heart of Christianity
Drawing on themes from his book <em>The Eucharist is Really Jesus: How Christ’s Body and Blood: Are the Key to Everything We Believe</em>, Joe explores the essential role of the Eucharist in Christianity. For instance, what is “the New Testament,” and how does the Eucharist make sense of Christ’s new covenant?
Seven Mysteries of the Faith Unlocked by the Eucharist
Instead of treating the Eucharist as just one more doctrine amongst many, Joe shows in this talk how a right understanding of the Eucharist is key for understanding (1) the New Covenant; (2) the Old Covenant; (3) the Mass; (4) Early Christianity; (5) the Church; (6) the lives of the Saints; and (7) your own spiritual life.
