It then follows the history of those peoples, mostly the Jewish "nation," who kept that faith. The term "Christian" itself is however not really recognized until the first century AD at Antioch as recorded in Acts 11:26.

| | | | Christian Church (Disciples of Christ): Encyclopedia II - Real Presence - Alternative understandings Alternative views of Real Presence are: Catholic and Orthodox Christians see Real Presence in terms of transubstantiation or metousiosis, with Anglicanism arguing for contentment with the process of metousiosis and the mode of objective presence to remain a mystery, and with Lutherans expouding on metousiosis as being a presence "in, with and under the forms" of bread and wine; Methodists even more vaguely postulate the "par excellence" presence as "mystery." In contradistinction, Reformed-Protestant or Calvinist views tend to reject the ide ...
