In recent years, Christians everywhere are rediscovering the Jewish roots of their faith. Every year at Easter time, many believers now celebrate Passover meals (known as Seders) seeking to understand exactly what happened at Jesus' final Passover, the night before he was crucified. Jesus and the Jewish Roots of the Eucharist shines fresh light on the Last Supper by looking at it through Jewish eyes. Using his in-depth knowledge of the Bible and ancient Judaism, Dr. Brant Pitre answers questions such as:
- What were the Jewish hopes for the Messiah?
- What was Jesus' purpose in instituting the Eucharist during the feast of Passover?
- And, most important of all, what did Jesus mean when he said, "This is my body...This is my blood"?
Inspiring and informative, Jesus and the Jewish Roots of the Eucharist is a groundbreaking work that is sure to illuminate one of the greatest mysteries of the Christian faith: the mystery of Jesus' presence in "the breaking of the bread".

Pitre explains wonderfully not only how the Passover Seder ties into our understanding of the Last Supper but also how Jewish temple worship and traditional rabbinic commentaries can illuminate for us, what Christ's followers saw and heard within the actions and teachings of Jesus.
I highly recommend this book. I have just listened to Scott Hahn's "The Fourth Cup" and enjoyed it as well but of the two, "Jesus and the Jewish Roots of the Eucharist" has significantly more depth.
Fascinating insights

If I had lived in the Old Testament age, I would have liked to be able to see and revere the bread of the presence, the mana and all the sacred gifts the Lord placed for his people. Likewise as I reflect on God's plan of salvation for humanity written all over the OT and NT, my humble human mind wants to comprehend His great love that brought Him to continuously give us His only son in the bread and blood, all the blood of sufferings and sins absorbed in our Lord Jesus Christ, "...blood and water which gushed forth from the heart of Jesus as a fountain of mercy for us ...". I have read some of the reviews, positive and negative and I can only think on what a Gift our Jewish ancestors had and what a great Gift, we have now.
I had written the above in Amazon when I was half thru with the book, now I just finished it and can’t wait to go over it again. Highly recommended. It is a great source for those who long to know more of God’s plan/love for us and seeing this love moving all thru the Jewish roots in the OT, and reappearing thru the NT.
Great! More of what I expected.

Also worth mentioning, I finished this book in less than 24 hours bc I couldn’t stop listening. Thank you, Brant, for writing this book.
