“…One possible problem that humanity faces is original sin that alienates humans from God. Crisp Lastly, Arcadi (2015Arcadi ( , 2016aArcadi ( , 2018 appropriates the three-part, concrete-compositional model of the Incarnation as a means of expositing a view of Christ's presence in the Eucharist. Many theologians of the past have drawn a comparison between the Incarnation and the Eucharist.…”

The notion that Jesus Christ is one person with two natures has been the venue of much philosophical theological work in the past 40 years. One mode of engagement with this idea has been to defend the coherence of the idea. This has been done by, for example, revising standard conceptions of divinity and humanity or predicate attribution. Another mode of engagement with the doctrine is to offer models for how the state of affairs of the Incarnation might work. This could involve retrieving models from thinkers of the past. Finally, the constructive mode applies the reasoning of the two natures/one person conception to other areas of Christian theology such as the atonement or the Eucharist. Examples of each of these modes from the contemporary analytic literature are presented.

“…If one allows with Ockham that God could make an individual substance nature depend on a substance part, then one could say that the human body of Christ is the proximate assumer of the bread nature’ (Adams , 306). I term this impanation model ‘Type‐S Impanation’ (Arcadi , 5). Where Type‐H Impanation posits a union between the person of the Word and the elements, Type‐S Impanation posits a union between the human body of Christ and the elements.…”

“…Where Type‐H Impanation posits a union between the person of the Word and the elements, Type‐S Impanation posits a union between the human body of Christ and the elements. In a recent article (Arcadi ), I explore Type‐S Impanation as an attractive model of explicating the aptness of the liturgical utterance. The attractiveness of this model comes from the way that it fits with and makes use of Chalcedonian Christological metaphysical dynamics…”

Recent Philosophical Work on the Doctrine of the Eucharist

The doctrine of the Eucharist has been one of the more fruitful locales of philosophical reflection within Christian theology. The central philosophical question has been, ‘what is the state of affairs such that it is apt to say of a piece of bread, “This is the body of Christ”?’ In this article, I offer a delineation of various families of answers to this question as they have been proffered in the history of the church. These families are distinguished by how they view the presence of the body of Christ as well as the continued presence of the bread and wine after consecration. I then provide a specific examination of some recent attempts to explicate these views. A number of the recent work has focused on the Roman Catholic doctrine of transubstantiation, but I also survey consubstantiation, transignification, and a recent revival of impanation as potential means for describing the metaphysical realities of the Eucharist.

Thomas White on the Metaphysics of Transubstantiation

This article explores a previously neglected manuscript essay in which Thomas White offers an account of the metaphysics underpinning transubstantiation. White’s views are of particular interest because his explanation employs a broadly mechanist framework, rather than the hylomorphism traditionally associated with Roman Catholic discussions of the Eucharist. The manuscript helps to shed light on a number of topics of importance to early modern philosophy including the reception of Descartes’s views, the relationship between theology and natural philosophy, and mechanist accounts of identity and individuation.
