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!!!!
I do not like this book—I love this book!
There are several reasons why I deeply appreciate it. The study of the words used in their original language, and what they meant in the time and context in which they were written, is exceptional. The author’s knowledge and use of hermeneutical principles, along with his understanding of the manners and customs of those days, add significant depth.
Another very important factor is the consideration of church history, as well as the impact of both governmental and clerical rule that shaped and dictated much of the church’s dogma and the traditions that were accepted and adopted. Many compromises were made in the name of unity and peace, often taking priority over the truths of the Bible.
The honesty and integrity of the author are commendable, and I hope more Christian literature and books will follow this example.
“You want the truth? You can’t handle the truth!”
When traditions are challenged, the above attitude often prevails. It takes time to think things through and remove the dirt so only the substance remains. Mr. Tennent, like an archaeologist, carefully removes the dirt so the valuable artifact can be seen and appreciated for what it truly is.
He has had to pick his way through ritual and misguided traditions, cleaning up the work of early agenda-driven historians so we can enjoy this uncorrupted truth—truth meant to edify us all. This excavation has taken time, effort, and the careful sorting of fact from fiction.
Now that the truth has been freed, we can move beyond ritual into the richness of The Messianic Feast. Pour yourself a cup of coffee and enjoy a fine treatise that will enrich your soul and touch your spirit.
Well done, Mr. Tennent.
