A Discourse Concerning the True Notion of the Lord's Supper

""A Discourse Concerning the True Notion of the Lord's Supper"" by Ralph Cudworth is a theological treatise that explores the nature and significance of the Christian sacrament of communion. Cudworth, a prominent 17th-century English philosopher and theologian, argues that the Lord's Supper is not merely a symbolic act but a true means of spiritual nourishment and communion with Christ.
