Joachim Jeremias argues that the historical truth can be detected beneath the traditions preserved in the New Testament about the Last Supper. A climax of a series of messianic meals, the Last Supper was a passover meal. Jesus himself abstained, in anticipation of his body and the outpouring of his blood, but the disciples received a share in the atoning power of their Lord’s sufferings.

A great book of the highest importance for our understanding of the intention of Jesus and of the meaning of the Holy Communion . . . A book rich in information, insight and suggestion . . . No one ought to talk seriously about the Eucharist without having mastered this fine study.

The almost exclusively Jewish scope of Jesus’ ministry has often been explained as a deliberate concentration with a view to ultimate expansion. To this, Joachim Jeremias adds the further explanation that Jesus’ own thought and policy were guided by a pattern of Old Testament expectation which enabled him to look forward confidently to the pilgrimage of the Gentiles to the mount of God at the final consummation, and accordingly to preach a bold universalism, while at the same time remaining content during his ministry to limit his actual appeal to the Jews. Jeremias argues his case with a wealth of instructive erudition.

Joachim Jeremias’ The Parables of Jesus is a classic of twentieth-century New Testament scholarship. However, to fully appreciate its original calls for a knowledge of Greek, and patience to work through much technical and linguistic material. With this in mind, Jeremias produced this shorter and simplified version which was subsequently also translated into English. This reissue is for a new generation of readers who will perhaps find it even more useful than did their predecessors.
