"In these companion volumes of essays, Jewish and Christian liturgical
scholars examine, from historical, theological, and aesthetic
perspectives, the practices and intricate interrelationships of Passover
and Easter. Several essays lament the antisemitism that has infected the
Easter liturgy, and one-Israel Yuval's 'Easter and Passover as Early
Jewish-Christian Dialogue'-pushes beyond the oft-told tale of
Jewish-Christian enmity to explore ways the development of worship
patterns of the two faiths have influenced one another. Both volumes are
required purchases for libraries supporting liturgical studies. Volume 5
would also be a good choice for broader collections in the history of
Judaism and Christianity." -Choice
