God's Festivals in Scripture and History: Part 2: The Fall Festivals

by Samuele Bacchiocchi

The second volume examines the historical and theological development of the FallFeasts of Trumpets, Atonement, and Tabernacles. The study shows how the typology of Fall Feasts points to the consummation of redemption, namely, the judgment, the final disposition of sin, the second Advent, and the restoration of this world. The two volumes challenge Christian churches to develop a church calendar pattern after the Feasts of Israel in order to celebrate during the course of the year the redemptive accomplishments of Christ's first and second Advents.

[Doug Ward · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is my favorite book on the typology and Christian significance of the festivals of Yom Teruah, Yom Kippur and Sukkot. It is theologically sound and contains many valuable insights, including some distinctive ones stemming from the author's Seventh-day Adventist perspective.

This book was published in 1996, and the author died in 2008. The book could now be expanded in light of recent research---for example, Daniel Stokl Ben Ezra's work on the impact of Yom Kippur on early Christianity, and Hans Moscicke's work on Gospel allusions to the two goats of Leviticus 16. But it remains a valuable Christian introduction to the fall festivals of Israel.
