1. For a history of the ambiguity of the phrase, see Albert B. Collver, “ ‘Real Presence’: A Confession of the Lord’s Supper — The Origin and Development of the Term in the Sixteenth Century” (PhD Diss., Concordia Seminary, Saint Louis, Mo., 2001). Calvin did not deny the real presence but only the Roman Catholic and Lutheran understandings of the phrase (p. 335 in Collver’s dissertation).

2. See the first verse of Martin Luther’s eucharistic hymn, “O Lord, We Praise Thee”: “May Thy body, Lord, born of Mary, That our sins and sorrows did carry, And Thy blood for us plead In all trial, fear, and need: O Lord, have mercy!” (The Lutheran Hymnal [Saint Louis, Mo.: Concordia, 1941], no. 313).
