Body, blood, soul and divinity! We explore one of the most ancient teaching that the earlier Christians all understood and believed - that Jesus is really and truly present in the Eucharist.  Every single Christian in the first, second and third century knew and believed this - well before Christianity was accepted by the roman emperor. St. Ignatius of Antioch, a disciple of St. John the Apostle, who was alive when the gospels were written and states that the Eucharist it the real body and blood of Christ and all of the earlier church fathers were united on this essential teaching.
