Kerygma · Doctrine & Theology

Sacraments trivia, the verse beside the sign.

"Visible signs of invisible grace" — Augustine's phrase, and the church's vocabulary for two millennia. Kerygma's Sacraments category tests baptism, eucharist, and the broader sacramental tradition: their biblical foundation, their administration, and the theology behind each.

What's covered

  • Baptism — Matthew 28, Romans 6, Acts. Modes, recipients, theology.
  • The Lord's Supper / Eucharist — the Last Supper accounts, 1 Corinthians 11, Real Presence views.
  • Confession and reconciliation — James 5, John 20.
  • Confirmation, ordination, marriage, anointing of the sick — for traditions that hold seven.
  • Two-sacrament Protestant view vs. seven-sacrament Catholic and Orthodox.
  • Augustine's "outward sign" — sacramental theology in the Western tradition.

In which Pauline letter does Paul give the institutional words of the Lord's Supper that the church has used liturgically for two thousand years?

  1. Romans
  2. 1 Corinthians
  3. Ephesians
  4. Hebrews

"For I received from the Lord what I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night when he was betrayed took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it, and said, 'This is my body, which is for you. Do this in remembrance of me.'"1 Corinthians 11:23-24

1 Corinthians 11:23–26 contains Paul's transmission of the Last Supper words — likely written before any of the Synoptic Gospels were finalised. "Do this in remembrance of me" is the institutional command. Paul is correcting Corinthian abuses of the supper, and the words he quotes have been at the centre of Christian worship ever since.
