I am absolutely thrilled about the publication of The Rose Guide to the Feasts, Festivals and Fasts of the Bible, edited by Dr. Paul H. Wright. This new book contributes in distinctive ways to the study of the biblical feasts and festivals. First, the book is beautifully illustrated with colorful charts and diagrams that help readers visualize the information being communicated. For a visual learner like myself, the color pictures and illustrations are worth the price of the book! Second, the book presents not only a careful study of the biblical feasts and their associated traditions, but also how the feasts have been observed by God’s people in the biblical period as well as contemporary times. Third, the book provides a breadth of understanding, not just by one author, but by five contributors who offer their distinctive perspectives. I found it especially helpful to learn how the feasts and festivals have been observed by different religious traditions, all of which honor and seek to apply the biblical teaching. For those who are interested in being introduced to the biblical feasts and festivals, this book is a great place to begin. For readers interested in deepening their understanding and increasing their appreciation of a variety of religious traditions, I am confident that they will be pleased with and encouraged by The Rose Guide to the Feasts, Festivals and Fasts of the Bible.
By far the most comprehensive and helpful book on the Feasts and Festivals of the Bible that I’ve come across. The organization of the book is outstanding. The charts, maps, illustrations, and pictures are spectacular. And the overall content and footnotes provide you with everything you’d want to know about the subject matter. As someone who has studied under several of these authors, they are the finest in their fields and their collaboration on this work will be a gift to any student of the Bible for many years to come.
