Easter in the early church

About this book

There was a time in the life of the Church when Easter was, in a way, everything-not only because it commemorated the whole history of salvation from the creation to the parousia, without having to share it with any other festival, but also because certain essential elements of the community's life took shape in the course of its celebrating Easter over the years: the liturgy, for instance, but also typological exegesis, catechesis, theology, and even some of the canonical Scriptures.
