Christ is risen! He is risen indeed! Easter Sunday is the most important day on the Christian calendar, a day when even people who do not usually attend church may participate in a religious service and hear the proclamation that Christ is risen. But Easter is more than a day: it is a season; and even more, for the Christian who has died with Christ and returned to life in him, Easter is a new and joyful way of living. It is a world-upending, topsy-turvy transformation.
In these pages, Wesley Hill sets out the history and significance of the Easter season for the Church and for the spiritual journey of Christians. You will discover a presentation of the biblical narrative and the practices of Eastertide, spanning from the Ascension to Pentecost, as well as paths for the practical application of Easter theology, all for the formation of Christians.
Wesley Hill is associate professor of New Testament at Western Theological Seminary and author of several books in English.
