- "`Wherever there is the conjunction of suffering and joy, of death and life, there is eucharist', said one of the participants at a meeting of theologians [at the Community of Grandchamp, Switzerland, in December 1981]. The World Council of Churches had convened the meeting to discuss the theme of its forthcoming Assembly: 'Jesus Christ -- the Life of the World'. [This book] draws upon and continues the reflection on the theme within a eucharistic framework. Through the many forms of death and the many signs of life it deals with, it sustains the vision of a world made whole in Jesus Christ." -- back cover.
