Skillfully shows importance of Jewish holidays to Christians, 4 May 1999
By Jim Trudeau - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Feasts of the Lord (Hardcover)
This excellent book clearly shows how the seven feasts that God commanded the Jews to observe are important to Christians today. The authors skillfully show how these feasts clearly point toward the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. This is a definite "must read" for anyone with an interest in prophecy, end times, or the return of Jesus Christ!

Prophetic fulfillment of the feasts just coincidence?, 17 April 2000
By "shofar" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Feasts of the Lord (Hardcover)
Was it just a coincidence that the four spring feasts of the Lord were fulfilled prophetically during the first coming of Christ? Howard and Rosenthal show us how the feasts of the Lord were God's appointed times to meet with man for holy purposes, and how having an understanding of the prophetic fulfillment of each feast will clue us in to where we stand in God's prophetic calendar. Written from a Jewish-Christian perspective, this beautifully illustrated book also covers other Jewish holy days and material that are not normally included in similar studies, and because of the authors' backgrounds, you can be sure that you are getting authentic information. Do you think it will be a coincidence if the three remaining fall feasts are fulfilled during Christ's second coming? To find out, read this book. To understand why this is not "date-setting", read "The Pre-Wrath Rapture Of The Church" by Marvin Rosenthal.

Well thought out, 4 Mar 2003
By Jack Turner - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Feasts of the Lord (Hardcover)
Howard and Rosenthal have made quite a mark for themselves in Jewish-Christian scholarship. Much of their effort is to link the Hebrew Bible festivals to a New Testament observance and belief system. By all regards, they accomplish their goal quite well. However, the book is not written as in-depth as I would have liked to have seen. There is a wealth of information out there as to what the church father thought about the seven festivals, and it would have been nice if there had been an acknowledgement of that fact. Additionally, the binding can be poor at times, particularly if one makes extensive use of it. On the whole, not bad and still well thought out.
