Description: Many professing Christians do not know what the Bible says about the holy days and the importance of keeping them in solemn worship to the Lord and Creator. Sometimes their understanding is based on secular sources instead of the Bible. This book is biblical, cultural, and historical analysis of the Christian Holy Days. It contains information that all professing Christians should know, understand,and apply to their lives. Major emphasis is given to the Incarnation, Passion week and the Resurrection. Additional comments are made on the forty post-resurrection days, the Ascension, and Pentecost. In addition, the author is a physician who provides an analysis of the medical aspects of the crucifixion and other relevant medical issues.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (pages 392-395).
