Just finished this book by Hans Boersma, who holds the J. I. Packer Chair in Theology at Regent College in Vancouver, B.C.  Highly recommended.  The author calls for a return to the "sacramental ontology" of the Platonist-Christian synthesis of the early Church Fathers.  The reviews at the Amazon page are definitely worth reading.  Bishop Ray Sutton mentioned the significance of this book in his recent talk on real presence at the ICCA, which I also highly recommend.
