As I would often remark whilst teaching, in confronting early Christian eucharistic meals like that of I Cor 11, “It’s a eucharist, Jim, but not as we know it.”
Not that I Cor 11 has not been misread but… Yes, eucharistic meals (not “the eucharist”) existed in Paul’s day!

Spill the beans. Did the eucharist exist in Paul’s day, or was it invented from a misinterpretation of 1 Cor 11?
