"Easter allows us to sense a meaning, explanatory but unsentimental, in the face of our own tears and the world's tears." In a series of reflections, day by day through the quiet week when the covid pandemic held the world in its grip, Erik Varden explains in this book the Easter mystery that is the foundation of the Christian's existence. The book's subtitle suggests how Easter provokes us, out of narrow-mindedness and comfort, into wisdom and divine life.
