Passover and Easter constitute for Jews and Christians respectively the most important festivals of the year. Although sharing a common root, the feasts have developed in quite distinct ways in the two traditions, in part independently of one another and in part in reaction against the other. Following the pattern set in earlier volumes in this series, these two volumes bring together a group of distinguished Jewish and Christian scholars to explore the history of the two celebrations, paying particular attention to similarities and connections between them as well as to differences and contrasts. They not only present a convenient summary of current historical thought but also open up new perspectives on the evolution of these annual observances.

Volume 5 in the series focuses especially on the origins and early development of the feasts and on the way that established practices have changed in recent years. Volume 6, also in the series, focuses on the contexts in which they occur?the periods of preparation for the feasts in the respective calendars and their connection to Shavuot/Pentecost?as well as to their traditional expression in art and music. At the same time, the essays raise some fundamental questions about the future. Have modern human beings so lost the sense of sacred time in their lives, for instance, that these great feasts can never again be what they once were for former generations of believers? And what about recent attempts by some Christians to enter into their heritage by celebrating a Jewish Seder as part of their annual Holy Week and Easter services?

Specialists and general readers alike will find much to interest and challenge them within these two additions to what has become a highly regarded series in the world of liturgical scholarship.

Product description

Review

?Continuing as in past volumes of this series, the editors present collections of essays from both Judaic and Christian scholars regarding these Holy Days. One question dealt with is ?Have these two highest holy days lost some of their emphasis and practice in our modern day world?? Volume 5 focuses on the origins and early development of the feasts and the ways that established practices have changed in recent years. Volume 6 deals with the contexts in which these Holy Days occur, the periods of preparations for them as feast days in the liturgical year, their traditional expression in art and music, and their connection to the succeeding season of Shavuot/Pentecost. Collectively they explore the ?sense of sacred time? and its meanings in relationship to modern day Judaism/Christianity. And what about attempts by some Christians to enter into their heritage by celebrating a Jewish Seder as part of their annual Holy Week and Easter services? These questions will be of import to specialists and general lay-persons alike as both take our religious practices into a new and more complex millennium.? ?Church and Synagogue Libraries

?In these companion volumes of essays, Jewish and Christian liturgical scholars examine, from historical, theological, and aesthetic perspectives, the practices and intricate interrelationships of Passover and Easter. Several essays lament the antisemitism that has infected the Easter liturgy, and one?Israel Yuval?s ?Easter and Passover as Early Jewish-Christian Dialogue??pushes beyond the oft-told tale of Jewish-Christian enmity to explore ways the development of worship patterns of the two faiths have influenced one another. Both volumes are required purchases for libraries supporting liturgical studies. Volume 5 would also be a good choice for broader collections in the history of Judaism and Christianity.? ?Choice

?These two volumes are a welcomed addition, and provide a good resource for the present state of scholarly opinion on these two related festivals.? ?Journal of Ecclesiastical History

“Jewish and Christian liturgical scholars examine, from historical, theological, and aesthetic perspectives, the practices and intricate interrelationships of Passover and Easter. Several essays lament the antisemitism that has infected the Easter liturgy, and one—Israel Yuval’s ‘Easter and Passover as Early Jewish-Christian Dialogue’—pushes beyond the oft-told tale of Jewish-Christian enmity to explore ways the development of worship patterns of the two faiths have influenced one another.” —Choice

“A welcomed addition, and a good resource for the present state of scholarly opinion on these two related festivals.” —Journal of Ecclesiastical History

If you have not read this book, you are not well enough informed on the subject(s), even if you are a seminary grad and/or Pastor. This book is a complete treatment of the histories and comparison's of Passover and Easter. If you are a spiritual leader in any position, absorbing this book will provide the only way for you to be confident you are leading your "flock" with an accurate, non-biased approach, especially during the Passover/Easter season every year.

An excellent manual for expounding easter history
Reviewed in the United States on June 13, 2014
Verified Purchase

I primarily bought this book to see what the scholarly view on easter was, how it all got started. I had formed an opinion already based on my reading of the relevant easter sources, ie Melito, Iranaeas, Eusebios and etc. It more or less confirmed my opinion that easter developed out of the Jewish pasech but there were conclusions and evidences I did not consider enough or appreciate. One thing this should help do is provide an educated opinion which is contrary to the common popular myth that easter was originally a pagan festival, a myth which needs to be refuted every time easter comes about.

Beyond this, the book details the growth and development of the feast, how at first the focus was not primarily on the resurrection but on the slain lamb of God, which is common in Melito's sermon. How the easter celebration came to encompass holy week and gradually in the liturgical traditions both east and west become a time for remembering and reliving key parts of the gospel and passion.

The information about the Jewish practice is also worth paying attention to in that we should understand Christianity and Judaism growing up together while challenging the other through specific developments. Passover for the Jewish community according to this book is not as some might believe a unchanged feast, it had to develop in response to Christianity and the destruction of the temple.

In short, get this book if you are at all interested in the history of these two sacred feasts.
