Intinction: An Historical, Exegetical and Systematic-Theological Examination  2012  19 pp.

Intinction is the practice of dipping the bread into the wine in order to eat the elements of the Lord’s Supper together, which confuses the order and symbolism of the Lord’s Supper as set for by Christ in His institution of it, and later reaffirmed by Paul.  This paper sufficiently demonstrates that the practice is contrary to both the teaching of the Bible and the Westminster Standards.  Keister first gives the history of the practice, then examines the relevant Biblical texts, and then addresses objections.
