The Eucharistic Canon

"The Eucharistic Canon : With Suggestions for a Possible Revision" is a scholarly and theological examination of the central prayer of the Christian Eucharist. Written by John Blomfield, this work provides a detailed analysis of the structure, history, and theological underpinnings of the Canon, specifically addressing the movements for liturgical reform that were prominent in the early 20th century.

The author explores the historical development of the eucharistic prayer and offers thoughtful suggestions for how it might be revised to better serve contemporary worship while remaining anchored in ancient tradition. This volume serves as an important resource for students of liturgy, clergy, and those interested in the evolution of sacramental practice. It addresses the complexities of liturgical language, the sequence of the eucharistic actions, and the doctrinal implications of various ritual forms. By balancing historical sensitivity with a vision for liturgical renewal, Blomfield's work offers a significant contribution to the understanding and celebration of the Holy Communion, providing a window into the process of ecclesiastical reform and liturgical development.
