Večera Gospodnja u misli Jeana Calvina
The Lord's supper in the thought of Jean Calvin

Summary/Abstract: This article briefly presents the life and work of the reformer Jean Calvin while acquainting the reader with the eucharistic aspect of his philosophicaltheological thought. In the first part of the article, the author provides an overview of Calvin’s life presenting his opus magnum, his most significant work, the Institutes of the Christian Religion. In the second part, Calvin’s eucharistic theology is presented, while the author is dealing with its most significant components: Calvin’s understanding of the sacraments, the significance of the Lord’s Supper, the biblical basis of Calvin’s understanding of the Lord’s Supper, the body and the blood of Jesus Christ as well as his presence in the Lord’s Supper, and of the Lord’s Supper in church practice. The author endeavors to acquaint the reader with Calvin’s understanding of the Lord’s Supper, which he regards as biblically based and philosophically-theologically argumentative, attempting to challenge and encourage the reader to resolve his own eucharistic convictions, comparing them with those of Calvin.
