The One Eucharist For The One World, Arthur Carl Piepkorn

Concordia Theological Monthly

After describing the private character of the Eucharist, Dr. Piepkorn defends its public character with four observations. (1) The humanity of Jesus Christ is present and this unites Him and the worshiper with all humanity. (2) The Christ who is present is the Creator of all things.
