A CAREFUL APPROACH

Keep the different layers clear

As you explore the feasts, keep the biblical text, later Jewish tradition and Christian interpretation distinct. They are related, but they are not identical. Devotional and prophetic reflections can help us respond personally, but they do not replace Scripture or the living Jewish context of the feasts.
