Easter is the foundation of the church:
_ In what way did the early church receive the Easter story?
_ How did that understanding change after a thousand years?
_ Is Good Friday really ÔgoodÕ?
_ How do we react to the Passion of Jesus today?
_ What should we believe, and who?
This short book of public lectures and sermons by John Rogerson explores the differing perspectives taken by the Church on the meaning of Easter through two thousand years of history. It explores what is offered in the crucifixion of Jesus and illuminates ways which in our modern age can discover thoughtful and active approaches to Easter today.
