DESCRIPTION:
"An excellent manual for expounding easter history" according to Amazon Customer. 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.

An Exhaustive Study 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

Volume 5 would also be a good choice for broader collections in the history of Judaism and
