In recent years many claims have been made and questions asked about the origins of our Easter traditions. Was the holiday based on Pagan traditions? Was Easter created by the Roman Catholic Church at the Council of Nicaea? Where did Easter eggs and the Easter Bunny come from? How did Lent get started? Should Christians celebrate Easter, or should we be celebrating Passover? In this book we try to go back to the origins of these traditions and examine the historical evidence available to us to see where all of these traditions got started. Starting with the Bible as our guide, we work our ...

Easter How a Biblical Event Was Replaced by a Cultural Invention Easter is one of the most widely celebrated religious holidays in the modern world — and one of the least examined. Rabbits, eggs, spring imagery, and resurrection language are blended together so seamlessly that few people stop to ask where these traditions came from, how they formed, or whether they have any connection to the biblical events they claim to represent. This book asks those questions. Easter examines the historical, religious, and cultural development of the modern Easter celebration and contrasts it with the ...

Was there a woman before Eve? The question does not arise from a single text or a single moment in time. It moves across centuries, reappears in different forms, and is often attributed to writings that never posed it in this way. Between what is written and what later came to be told, a space opens—and it is within that space that legend takes hold. This book traces the emergence and development of this idea through the very texts and traditions that shaped it. It begins in the ancient world, where names associated with night, wilderness, and desolation belonged to the religious and ...

Jericho Brown's daring book The Tradition details the normalization of evil and its history at the intersection of the past and the personal. Brown's poetic concerns are both broad and intimate, and at their very core a distillation of the incredibly human: What is safety? Who is this nation? Where does freedom truly lie? Brown makes mythical pastorals to question the terrors to which we've become accustomed, and to celebrate how we survive.

In recent years, something curious is happening in the church scene. Some Evangelicals are drawn to the Eastern Orthodox Church (or to Roman Catholicism). The ancient churches offer an alternative to liberal mainline Protestant churches and theologically compromised charismatic and Evangelical churches. They reject the LGBTQ+ agenda, promote protective masculinity, and stand for pro-life issues. While many Christians would still affirm these values, what else is involved in the trade-off? What about the authority of scripture or tradition? Is faith in Christ enough for salvation, or must ...

When the Easter Bunny fails to appear, the world doesn’t end — but it wobbles. Eggs remain unhunted. Traditions falter. Somewhere in the machinery of seasons and belief, something vital has slipped its filing system. In a realm just to the left of reality, a council of ancient and quarrelsome magical beings meets to decide what must be done. Their solution is a witch. Shelly Egg is practical, sharp-tongued, deeply unimpressed by authority, and has absolutely no interest in becoming a seasonal replacement. Unfortunately, she is also the only one capable of holding the world together ...

What if some of our most familiar Easter traditions were never tested against Scripture? For generations, Christians have celebrated Easter with deep sincerity, reverence, and joy. Yet few believers have ever been invited to examine where many of these traditions came from, or whether they align with the pattern of worship God established in Scripture. Uncovering Easter is not an attack on the resurrection of Jesus Christ. It is a careful, Scripture-centered examination of how cultural customs, historical practices, and religious tradition became intertwined with one of Christianity’s ...

Step Into The Story of Easter… As believers in Christ, we celebrate two major events annually on the church calendar: Christmas and Easter. Christmas observances are tied closely to home and church, with families having their own traditions at home as well as attending Christmas services together. However, Easter is usually only celebrated in a church service. Many families have an Easter meal together, but in our busy and fractured culture, that may not happen. Passover for Christians provides a designated time for families and friends to share a meal together and focus on the final week...
