Treasures from the Storeroom by Gary Macy
Medieval Religion and the Eucharist
Gary Macy. . has uncovered much unsuspected diversity in Medieval Eucharistic thought. . . . His knowledge of the sources is unique and unrivaled.Keith J. Egan, Aquinas Chair in Catholic Theology, Saint Mary's College, Adjunct Professor of Theology, University of Notre Dame
More than just a collection of previously published papers, this volume reflects, and makes easily available, the path-breaking research and reflection of our leading authority on the history of medieval Eucharistic theology and devotion. . . . Macy's work also sheds light on the actual dynamics of the development of doctrine in the medieval period itself. On all counts, this accessibly written book should attract a wide readership.Marcia L. Colish, Frederick B. Artz Professor of History, Oberlin College
This book is a scholar's delight! Working expertly with a wide range of original sources, Macy recreates the discussion about Eucharist that actually took place in the Middle Ages. His careful historical research challenges many of today's theological presuppositions and provides a genuinely traditional base for new understandings and celebrations of Eucharist.Bernard Cooke
These essays are 'must reading' for anyone serious about medieval theology, as well as for those seriously interested in ecclesiology and eucharistic theology, past or present.Terrence W. Tilley, Chair, Department of Religious Studies, University of Dayton
Gary Macy's original, engaging, eloquent, deep, and witty book spreads out the rich diversity of medieval theology, dissolving current dogmatic or lazy presuppositions about the allegedly monolithic Middle Ages.Jeffrey Burton Russell, Professor of History, Emeritus, University of California
In addition to being fascinating reading, Macy's work shows the liturgical reader that within the storeroom of history, peoples, beliefs and cultures which we call 'Catholicism' there has long existed an array of liturgies and theologies that have been accepted as permanent, indispensable and enriching expressions of her practice and faith.Centro Studi S. Anselmo, Liberia - Editrice, Roma, Italy
. . . essential reading for anyone who would try to teach or to understand the history of eucharistic theology.Modern Believing
A collection of wonderfully written, fresh essays by a superlative scholar who proves the preeminence of historical theology and the hyra-headed character of Catholic tradition.The Catholic Journalist
