Review # 1 was written on 2019-10-17 00:00:00 Peter W Niebauer Thorough, well-annotated history. Useful for interested persons of all faiths (or none), but of particular usefulness to those concerned with the history of Jewish and Christian confrontation before the 20th century.

Review # 2 was written on 2016-01-26 00:00:00 Brian Hutson The Rosen's "Christ in the Passover" was a wonderful way to prepare for Easter 2019. The Rosen's seek to examine the Passover tradition from a plethora of perspectives. The original Passover story is retold, with discussion of the meaning of the celebration, early observances, Passover in the time of Jesus, the connection between the Passover and the Last Supper in which Jesus instituted communion, and contemporary Seder preparations and rituals. All is examined in the light of Jesus Christ as the Messiah that fulfills (all Old Testament and) Passover prophecy. In addition, the authors helpfully include a glossary, index and four appendices: Appendix 1: Chart of Jewish Feasts Appendix 2: Sample Ceremony for the Celebration of the Passover Appendix 3: Comparing Ashkenazic and Sephardic Passover Customs of North America Appendix 4: A Chronological Look at the Passion Week I especially appreciated the chronological documentation of Passover celebrations referenced in Scripture and beyond, with attention to the various strands of Jewish practice that interweave in the North American diaspora today. This title serves as both a wonderful mediation on Jesus in the Passover and a solid reference for Passover traditions (both Orthodox and Messianic). This is one of those times when I wish 3.5 stars was an option! This title is part of a series by the Rosen's that includes: Christ in the Feast of Pentecost and Christ in the Feast of Tabernacles.
