The People's Offering

Description

For centuries, Christian worship has centered on receiving grace at the Lord’s Table. But is the Eucharist only about receiving? In The People’s Offering, Ron Browning invites readers to rediscover the neglected dimension of offering—our prayers, our lives, and our hope—within the sacrament.

Tracing the journey from the Early Church through the Reformation to modern liturgical renewal, Browning explores how offering shapes Christian identity and agency today. With insights from Anglican, ecumenical, and Eastern Orthodox traditions, this book opens a fresh vision of the Eucharist as a dynamic act of thanksgiving, intercession, and self-giving love.

Accessible yet deeply rooted in scholarship, The People’s Offering is for clergy, students, and all who long to enter the mystery of Christ’s sacrifice more fully—and to live it in the world.
