Not By Bread Alone: The Biblical and Historical Evidence for the Eucharistic Sacrifice 2nd Edition, 2019

Ever since Martin Luther, many have charged that the Catholic Mass is unbiblical, that it repudiates the once-for-all sacrifice of Christ on the cross of Calvary as taught in the Epistle to the Hebrews, and still others have denied that Christ is truly present in the Eucharist at all. Do these objections hold? A thorough examination of Scripture and history returns a firm no, and Not By Bread Alone sets the biblical and historical record straight. More than that, as you come to understand the truth about the Mass, this book offers a path to one of the deepest relationships with God you may ever know.

This is the most comprehensive and detailed treatment of the Mass and the Eucharist available today. It shows how the Mass and the once-for-all sacrifice of Christ coincide, why God desires both the sacrifice of the Cross and the Mass, and how to answer the main Protestant critics of Catholic Eucharistic teaching. It engages the Fathers, the medievals, the Popes, and the Councils with detailed commentary, and critiques modern reconceptions of the Eucharist. In short, what you have wanted to know about the Mass is here.

Nihil Obstat. "Robert Sungenis has prepared a wonderful defense and explanation of the Holy Eucharist based on Sacred Scripture and Catholic theology. This is solid Catholic doctrine regarding the Real Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist. It is a fine new look at traditional Catholic Eucharistic theology geared to the eager and fervent Catholic priest and lay person." (Most Reverend Fabian W. Bruskewitz)
