The author argues that the prescriptions of Exodus 12 provide the celebration of the Pesach in Jerusalem with an etiological background in order to connect the pilgrim festival with the story of the Exodus. The thesis that the Christian Easter evolved as a festival against a Jewish form of celebrating Pesach in the second century and that the development of Easter Sunday is dependent upon this custom is endorsed by the author’s close study of relevant texts such as the Haggada of Pesach; the “Poem of the four nights” in the Palestinian Targum Tradition; the structure of the Easter vigil.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Der Studie sind viele Leser ? sowohl Theologen wie auch Judaisten ?zu wunschen: sie steht beispielhaft fur eine Form der interdisziplinaren Forschung, die unser Verstandnis von Entwicklung beider Religionen und ihrer Liturgien befordern kann.\"Elisabeth Hollender in: Frankfurter Judaistische Beitrage 2007\/2008","brand":"De Gruyter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53516384305495,"sku":"9783110188578","price":146.78,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-jewish-pesach-and-the-origins-of-the-christian-easter-open-questions-in-current-research-9783110188578","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
