It's probably worth looking at Douglas Farrow, 'Between the Rock and a Hard Place: In Support of (Something Like) a Reformed View of the Eucharist', IJST 3.2 (2001). I notice he's also published a book called The Word of Truth and Disputes About Words.

Thanks, Matthew. I must remember to chase it up next time I'm near a library - or can bribe Wendy or something.

Sorry if this is so obvious that you've already done it...

Luther and Lutherans in Calvin's day and modern day ones like Teddy Mueller engaging with Calvin?

That might be the other half of the phone call, or at least one party in the conference call...
