What is Coena Mystica: Debating Reformed Eucharistic Theology (Mercersburg Theology Study Series) about?

Synopsis: Coena Mystica contains the never-before-reprinted text of John Williamson Nevin's response to Charles Hodge's devastating critiques of his 1846 magnum opus, The Mystical Presence. Initially appearing in twelve issues of the little-known Weekly Messenger of the German Reformed Church and almost entirely neglected by historians since, Nevin's response included the full text of Hodge's article, with his rejoinders interspersed every few pages.

The present critical edition carefully preserves the original text, while providing extensive introductions, annotations, and biblio
