An Essay on the Holy Eucharist: Or A Refutation of the Hoadlyan Scheme of It (1814)

""An Essay On The Holy Eucharist: Or A Refutation Of The Hoadlyan Scheme Of It"" is a book written by Henry Card and published in 1814. The book is a detailed analysis of the Hoadlyan Scheme, which was a theological concept proposed by Benjamin Hoadly, an English bishop in the early 18th century. The Hoadlyan Scheme rejected the idea of transubstantiation, which is the belief that the bread and wine used in the Eucharist become the body and blood of Jesus Christ.Card's book argues against the Hoadlyan Scheme and defends the traditional Catholic belief in transubstantiation. The author provides a thorough examination of the Scriptures, the writings of the Church Fathers, and the teachings of the Catholic Church to support his argument. He also refutes the arguments made by Hoadly and other proponents of the Hoadlyan Scheme.The book is written in a clear and concise style, making it accessible to both scholars and laypeople. It is an important work in the history of Christian theology and provides valuable insights into the debate surrounding the nature of the Eucharist.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
