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.
In this groundbreaking work, T. Alex Tennent explains: ‘We are not cleansed and sanctified by ceremonial washing in water but by the spiritual washing that comes from the Lord and the word of God.’ There is a lot I enjoy about this book. T. Alex Tennent makes a lot of sense and I believe does a better job cutting the word straight than any author I have ever read.

The depth of this work is amazing. Alex does such a good job of covering all the bases, leaving no gaps for one to wonder where he is coming from. This work is on par with all the reformers who have changed the course of Christianity.
Good job, Alex—one step closer to the way things were 1900 years ago.
