Wipf And Stock Publishers Jewish Feasts And The Gospel Of John by Gale A. Yee
""John Situates Certain Events In Jesus' Ministry Specifically During Four Jewish Festival Seasons: Sabbath, Passover, Tabernacles, And Dedication. According To John, Jesus Replaces These Feasts In His Special Relationship To The Father, Making Them Obsolete. The Book Of Signs [John 1:19-12:50], Is Important For This Study Because It Is Here That John Explores The Significance Of Jesus In Light Of The Symbolism Of The Jewish Feasts. . . . We Will Therefore Focus Our Discussion Predominately On The Book Of Signs, Pointing Out In The Course Of Our Study Where The Festival Motifs Are Resumed In The Book Of Glory [John 13:1-20:31]."" --From The Introduction Gale A.
