I found this book to be scripturally accurate and so helpful in understanding the true meaning of baptism. I think some people jump to conclusions without thoroughly reading and proving what Alex Tennent is teaching, which is sad. I believe it’s so important to come out of religious traditions and highly recommend reading this book-especially before giving reviews or forming an opinion.
The Messianic Feast: Spirit and Truth
I was honored when asked to join T. Alex Tennent’s editorial team for The Messianic Feast. As a published author, I’m well acquainted with the rigors of publishing. In all honesty, I know no colleague in the industry whose commitment to Bible truth exceeds his.
Never once did Mr. Tennent stray from a bedrock commitment to uphold scriptural integrity while conveying revelatory (some might say revolutionary) understandings. An honest reader would be hard-pressed to gainsay or resist Tennent’s reasoned (though sometimes non-conventional) conclusions.
With scholarly precision and marked humility, Mr. Tennent systematically imparts what I accept to be the pure heart of God. Simply put, for the New Testament Church to be solidly grounded in the Word, united, and released in spirit, she must prayerfully move beyond sentimental ritual and ho-hum practices. Ours is a new and living way.
Whether you are a pastor, teacher, scholar, or student of the Bible, you will be edified, perhaps surprised, and certainly amazed as you view the Messianic Feast from the unique vantage point of first-century believers.
Thank you, T. Alex Tennent! This book’s a keeper.
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.
