Grace at the Table contains the ruminations of a pastor/professor on the signifi-cance of the Lord‘s Supper. Motivated by the repetitive experien-ces of his youth and early ministry, Allman pursued connections in Scripture to fill in several gaps in the Church’s practices. In-cluded are studies of bread and the cup of blood. The Hebrew Bible offers fundamental contributions in these and other areas, including the Fall narrative in Genesis 3, the Levitical sacrifices, the New Covenant, and the Egyptian Hallel, Psalms 113–118.
JAMES E. ALLMAN, ThM (1977) and ThD (1984), taught at Mid-South Bible (Crichton) College from 1982–2000. Presently he is Professor Emeritus of Bible Exposition and Old Testament Studies at Dallas Theological Seminary. Though he retired in 2020, he maintains a teaching ministry at Central Church in Memphis, Tennessee.
He and his wife, Jan of more than fifty years have three adult children and eight grandchildren.
