Encouragingly, the Mercersberg revival continues apace. Phillip Ross has recently released a new edition of Nevin’s classic on Eucharistic theology, The True Mystery of The Mystical Presence 
. Ross has updated Nevin’s language and clarified his obscurities, trying to make Nevin speak in a direct way to contemporary Christians. In addition this edition includes several appendixes, an essay on Calvin’s theology of the Eucharist, Calvin’s “little treatise” on the Supper, and an essay by Ross on “the eight senses of man.”
