About this listen

In recent years, Christians everywhere are rediscovering the Jewish roots of their faith. Every year at Easter time, many believers now celebrate Passover meals (known as Seders) seeking to understand exactly what happened at Jesus' final Passover, the night before he was crucified. Jesus and the Jewish Roots of the Eucharist shines fresh light on the Last Supper by looking at it through Jewish eyes. Using his in-depth knowledge of the Bible and ancient Judaism, Dr. Brant Pitre answers questions such as:

  • What were the Jewish hopes for the Messiah?
  • What was Jesus' purpose in instituting the Eucharist during the feast of Passover?
  • And, most important of all, what did Jesus mean when he said, "This is my body...This is my blood"?

To answer these questions, Pitre explores ancient Jewish beliefs about the Passover of the Messiah, the miraculous manna from heaven, and the mysterious Bread of the Presence. As he shows, these three keys - the Passover, the manna, and the Bread of the Presence - have the power to unlock the original meaning of the Eucharistic words of Jesus. Along the way, Pitre also explains how Jesus united the Last Supper to his death on Good Friday and his Resurrection on Easter Sunday.

Inspiring and informative, Jesus and the Jewish Roots of the Eucharist is a groundbreaking work that is sure to illuminate one of the greatest mysteries of the Christian faith: the mystery of Jesus' presence in "the breaking of the bread".

So much wonderful research! A most convincing case, linking facts from the Jewish roots of the Eucharist which were new to me.

Fresh Perspective

As a Protestant completely new to the catholic view of the Eucharist I found this book very helpful. The author takes a difficult subject and makes it accessible seemingly without sacrificing the complexity. Whether or not one accepts the arguments made - which are all historical - one is very much deepened by this study. Highly recommend.

Accessible and educational

Listening to this book was wonderful. I listened to it on my way to appointments, on the bus, the tube/metro and even while going through my morning routine. I will repeat listening to it several times as there was so much information about contextualising the Eucharist in the light of Jewish tradition, which as a Catholic I had never been aware of. The continuities between the Jewish tradition and the Eucharist are actually beautiful and masterful, and we can see God’s design in everything. This knowledge brought me even closer to understanding Jesus and the mass. Highly recommend this. I think I will also buy the book so I can view all the references.

Excellent framing of New Testament

If you have ever doubted the authenticity of the Catholic Mass or that Jesus is the true Messiah, read this book. Drawing upon ancient Jewish and Christian texts, the author gives a wonderful account of the teachings of the Catholic Church on the Eucharist. Highly recommended to anyone seeking the Truth.

Mind-blowing and inspiring.

It is a beautiful piece that reveals the in depth of the Eucharist, the reason for the suffering of Christ and what it all means to mankind.

Quite Revealing

As the disciples on the road to Emaus we can miss the very core belief of our faith. Thank you Brant and Scott, God bless ✝️🙏🏻

Very inspiring and informative

This is just one awesome book, I haven't finished reading it but it's one of those really good books that you don't want to put down or stop listening. it connects the old Testament to the new Testament meaning of the Eucharist so well and I very highly recommend it

The best book Eucharist

Such a beautiful book, capturing the fullness of the Old Testament, sacrifice, liturgy, and the priestly identity of Jesus in how the role of Messiah is to be understood, and what he was to achieve, become, institute, and rule over.
