The Eucharistic Epiclesis: A Detailed History from the Patristic to the Modern Era
John McKenna
The moment in which the Eucharistic gifts of bread and wine become the consecrated body and blood of Christ has long been a point of contention between the Churches of the East and West. John McKenna seeks to offer a separate approach to this issue by exploring the role of the epiclesis throughout history and proposing a theology that focuses on the efficacy of the entire Eucharistic prayer.

See What People are Saying about The Eucharistic Epiclesis:
"Some
issues in the history of theology never go away. John McKenna's 1975 book, Eucharist
and the Holy Spirit, of which the present update is more precisely entitled,
The Eucharistic Epiclesis: A Detailed History from the Partistic to the Modern
Era, tackles one such intractable problem. Along with Edward Schillebeeckx's
1963, Christ, the Sacrament of Encounter with God, McKenna's study remains one
of the most important liturgical publications in English to emerge from that
heady, immediate post-Vatican II fallout that changed sacramental theology for
the better and--dare we hope?--forever.
McKenna's deceptively simple discourse and clear language, like that of Schillebeeckx,
results from the clarity, not the simplicity, of his thinking on a still disputed
and more often than not misunderstood topic in eucharistic and ecumenical theology:
in the Eucharist, who offers what to whom, when, and how? Every professor of
liturgical and ecumenical theology should have this book in his or her library."
