Abstract

<abstract xml:lang="en"> <title>Abstract</title> <p>The papal bull, <italic>In agro dominico</italic>, article 10, condemns a key concept in Eckhart's 'Eucharistic Theology' as containing 'the error or stain of heresy'. On closer examination we see that the bull misrepresents Eckhart's position and diminishes the Eucharist. Eckhart clearly has grounded his position in Aquinas, but has also developed it in light of his own notion of <italic>deiformitas</italic> (<italic>gottesgeburt</italic>), our transformation into the Body of Christ.</p> </abstract>
