Introduction
This chapter introduces the idea of an ecumenical repertoire of “metaphors of eucharistic presence” and situates the book within discussions of metaphor, language, and embodiment in liturgical theology. It proposes an “additive method” that allows metaphors with different entailments to stand alongside one another as complementary rather than contradictory. Five motifs—identity, representation, change, containment, and conduit—are introduced, each of which will be more fully explored in later chapters. Each includes one or more verbal affirmations churches could be invited to endorse. The chapter concludes with some notes on the scope of the project and how it is informed by the author’s Anglican perspective.
