Recenzje

"In Formative Feasting, Michael Rhodes offers a rich study on the tithe feast of Deuteronomy 14 and the Lord's Supper in 1 Corinthians 11. By drawing upon virtue ethics, ritual and liturgical studies, and biblical studies, Rhodes convincingly displays how these feasts were meant to form virtue within the communities of Ancient Israel and early Christianity. Highly recommended, especially for those interested in theological interpretation!" -Dr. Andrew Abernethy, Associate Professor of Old Testament, Wheaton College
