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
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.
