Charles Hodge or John W. Nevin?

Which do you agree with on the Lord's Supper and why?

I can't agree with Nevin.

Christ's "real spiritual presence" is partaken of in the sacrament, not His "spiritually real presence." And this is received by faith through the Holy Spirit. So the supper is not beneficial to all who partake regardless of faith, but to only those with faith.

Christian ritual costs nothing and is worth nothing. True Christian religion costs all that we have and is worth everything.

Richard, judging by your Avatar you have aged a lot recently; just yesterday you were a young man.

I heard Brian Schwertley say that this was a good book in defense of Calvin's position - in that it was very well written - but that he could not see the Biblical warrant for it.
