'In the spirit of Jim McClendon, Aaron James mines cognate Christian traditions for the most appropriate ways to articulate the revelation given us in Jesus. He finds the key in analogous uses of language, showing how it can be a critical tool for understanding revelation itself as well as communicating among traditions which have often developed separately.'
-David Burrell, C.S.C., Hesburgh Chair of Theology and Philosophy, University of Notre Dame, USA

'The brokenness of Christ's body is nowhere more readily and tragically manifest than at the Lord's Supper. Aaron James provides a fresh direction from which to approach issues that have historically divided the church. He demonstrates how analogous uses of language, present in both Baptist and Catholic theology, can lead to new understandings of the Lord's claim, This is my body. Engaging a wide range of theologians--such as Aquinas, Hubmaier, Schmemann, and McClendon--James moves us all one step closer to a common table.'
