T. Alex Tennent’s book is an essential read for anyone seeking to accurately understand the scriptures concerning the events surrounding the Last Supper and the crucifixion of Jesus. If you have ever found yourself lost in the explanations offered by commentators attempting to harmonize the gospel accounts of the Last Supper, the Passover, Jesus’ crucifixion, burial, and resurrection, then you must read this book.
The author’s insights into the original meanings of the Greek and Hebrew texts offer revelatory understanding. By correctly translating key scriptures that pertain to these events, he has unlocked heretofore hidden truths. This carefully researched book reveals how bias-driven translations have, over time, laid a foundation that obscured the truth.
Additionally, through his careful analysis of scripture, he has unpacked the true significance of “Communion.” Its real spiritual meaning is finally brought to light. This book should not be ignored by the serious student of the scriptures.
A Scholarly Addition to Christian and Jewish Books
The author is not only skilled in piecing together his facts but also creates a premise on which he solidly stands. You will learn more than information about the Messianic Feast—you will gain a wealth of insight into the Bible, both Old and New Testaments.
Well done!!!!
Initial Note from Matt:
Thanks… FYI… that may be the best theological book I’ve read in 20 years—and that says a lot, as I read 3–5 books per week! 🙂 I loved your book! We’ll talk soon, as your book leaves me with many questions… and that is a good thing!
Later, Matt added:
This book amazed me and left me in awe! I have not received such a wonderful scriptural revelation in 20 years. Mr. Tennent has truly done his research here—laying out and building truth upon truth, just as the scriptures say: “line upon line, precept upon precept.” He builds an undeniable case in my heart and mind for this precious, refreshing, and religiously freeing truth about our Lord’s true intention for what many refer to as The Last Supper—for anyone who will read this book with an open heart… if you dare!
I once heard someone say, “Most men and women have not had a new thought since puberty.” I’d say a hearty amen—especially about the religious and Christian world. Too many of us, for far too long, have never questioned anything we’ve been taught by the clergy or church leaders. Could this be why the Church has become so anemic and weak in bringing about any significant, positive change in our world and culture over the last 200 years?
I applaud Mr. Tennent’s willingness to lay aside bias and preconceived ideas to flesh out this groundbreaking truth. We need more spiritual pioneers and trailblazers like him to bring the Christian world into greater power and freedom.
If you read this book with an open and curious heart (and I pray you do!), it will transform you. It will free you in new ways. God will use this book to help you move from religion into relationship—with Him and with His Church!
—Matt
