The Eucharistic Theology of Communion and Deification: the Mystical, Ecclesiological and Soteriological Dimensions of the Holy Eucharist Within the Orthodox Tradition
Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: The present work analyzes in depth the theological, ecclesiological and mystical dimension of the Holy Eucharist, regarded as a central act of the life of the Church and the summit of man's communion with God. Starting from Scriptural, patristic and liturgical sources, the study highlights the ontological character of the union of the believer with Christ through communion with his Body and Blood, while emphasizing the Trinitarian and communitarian dimension of the Eucharistic act.
