Reflections on the wonder of Easter
Suffering & Glory recovers some of the best Holy Week and Easter articles from half a century of Christianity Today. Guiding readers from Palm Sunday to Pentecost and including contributions from Jeremy Treat, Tish Harrison Warren, J. I. Packer, Nancy Guthrie, and Eugene Peterson, Suffering & Glory will remind readers of the beauty of Christ’s death and resurrection.
Editorial Reviews
One of the greatest temptations of the religiously minded is to “spiritualize” the whole life, disconnecting the “true” from the “real.” This slips us into a bloodless faith that is more akin to Plato’s Forms than the gritty realism of the Bible. In this compilation of meditations from Christianity Today, we see a delightful blend of the personal and the philosophical, the old and the new, all pointing to the world-altering truth of Easter, disrupting the comforts of a world where Jesus remained in the grave. From calls to live out the implications of the Resurrection in our daily lives to reminders of the implausibility of the skeptics’ favorite tropes, this collection makes for a wonderful resource for the believer’s Easter contemplations.

The Eastertide season has been celebrated by Christians across history in every tribe, nation, and tongue. I am thankful for this collection of essays celebrating the diverse voices that make up a symphony of Easter reflections from the church.
