| Summary: | This article details interpretations of Aquinas’ eucharistic theology by Herbert McCabe, Denys Turner, and Brian Davies. It examines the way in which they re-present transubstantiation as transignification (McCabe), minimise the term 'transubstantiation' (Turner), or downplay the role of Aristotelian metaphysics (Davies). I argue that such readings maintain the eucharistic presence of Christ but cannot articulate the ways Christ is absent. Because transubstantiation involves only a substantial change, it denies any accidental change. This denial is the real explanatory power of the Aristotelian metaphysics in understanding transubstantiation. |
