| Résumé : |
Ever so slowly, ever so quietly the secular trappings of our American Easter seem to dull the magnificent message of this mighty season, this holiest of days.
Now, Athanasius, Bishop of Alexandria, speaks across the centuries, pointing us to the true meaning of the Easter feast. The Résurrection Letters offers a close-up look at the moving ways in which the early church celebrated the death and résurrection of our Lord. Author Sparks opens the heart of the great Egyptian bishop to the church today. Through the warmth and spiritual strength of Athanasius’ Festal Letters (annual letters sent to the churches under his care, announcing the dates of Easter), you will find new meaning in the Easter feast. |
