Description: The Lord's Supper is a profoundly solemn yet deeply enriching element of our worship to our gracious, merciful, savior God. At what age is it right for a child to partake in the Lord's Supper?

This book takes a critical look at the doctrine of paedo-communion as defined: "as the admittance of a covenant child to the Lord's Supper on the basis of his descent from at least one professing Christian parent." Looking at this doctrine, these essays will provide food for thought across the various disciplines such as biblical, theological, historical and pastoral. It will be a guide as you seek to explore this key pastoral issue.

"Honest, persuasive, yet irenic, this compilation puts to bed infant communion's errant theologizing and exposes the ecclesiologically hazardous results of its practice. The authors have served a positively edifying and nourishing meal for the Church on the theology and practice of the Lord's Table."
--David B. Garner, Associate Professor of Systematic Theology, Westminster Theological Seminary, Philadelphia
