| The Missing Presence, written as a conflict of terms, not in the opinion of this author. For centuries, Christian churches throughout the world have examined scripture and argued the meaning of Christ's words at the Last Supper. Many religious organizations believe that references to sharing the bread and wine were symbolic, not indicative of a continuing sacrifice or sustained presence.
Others, like the Catholic Church, teach Christ is a real living presence. To Catholics, the actions of the Last Supper provided a physical manna from which love and hope unite them with Jesus Christ every day of their human existence.
Is this concept shared by others? Could it be others also recognize the Real Presence but not in a positive light?
The author has prepared a story, a murder mystery, in which varying Christian beliefs of all denominations are brought into question. Its plot engages not only the mind but also the soul of the reader. Solving the whodunit may be the challenge for an investigative mind, but to the author, the crime is not the real agenda. Examine the characters! Can you find someone or some personality you recognize or relate to?
The real mystery is to understand the difference between fiction and nonfiction. Did this murder really happen? Do the characters really exist? Are the actions and attitudes of the contributing characters reflective of today's world?
In your opinion, if this murder did happen, would the real-life characters play their role as written? In the end, it is you, the reader, who will solve the mystery. For the author, the real mystery to be solved is this: why do so many believers in Jesus Christ fail to recognize His presence while others who are nonbelievers have no problem seeing Him?
