'The Lost Supper' with Matthew Colvin
November 30, 2020

Alastair Roberts
Matthew Colvin joins me to discuss his recent book, 'The Lost Supper' (https://amzn.to/33s5Th0). Within a wide-ranging conversation we discuss the value of rabbinic and other extra-biblical Jewish sources for our reading of the New Testament, the meaning of Christ's words of institution, rethinking the metaphysics and the mechanics of the Supper, Eucharistic practices, and much else besides!
