CONSUBSTANTIATION Meaning and Definition

1. Consubstantiation is a theological term used primarily in Christian theology, specifically in relation to the doctrine of the Eucharist or Holy Communion. It refers to a particular understanding of how the body and blood of Christ are present in the bread and wine of the sacrament.

   According to the doctrine of consubstantiation, the substance of the bread and wine coexists with the substance of the body and blood of Christ in the Eucharist. In other words, while the bread and wine retain their physical properties, they are simultaneously transformed in substance to be the actual body and blood of Christ, without the total transformation of their physical appearance.

   Consubstantiation differs from transubstantiation, another doctrine concerning the Eucharist. In transubstantiation, the substance of the bread and wine is believed to be wholly transformed into the body and blood of Christ, while their physical properties remain unchanged.

   The term consubstantiation was mainly associated with the teachings of Martin Luther, a prominent figure in the Protestant Reformation. Luther rejected the Catholic doctrine of transubstantiation but held that, in the Eucharist, the body and blood of Christ were "in, with and under" the bread and wine.

   While consubstantiation is a term used to describe a particular theological understanding of the presence of Christ in the Eucharist, it is not universally accepted across Christian denominations, and different traditions hold different interpretations of how this sacrament is understood and experienced.

2. According to the followers of Luther, a substantial though mysterious union of the body and blood of our Lord with the bread and wine of the sacrament after consecration.
