This book of the fullness of time series focuses on Easter. I have enjoyed all these books and the way that it has made me think more about the seasons the church goes through during the year. As someone who was raised Baptist we didn't really follow the church calendar other than advent, Christmas and Easter. This series has made me think more about these times and how the traditions of the past can help ground the faith. I enjoyed learning more about the Eastertide season (not just the one day that is usually celebrated in most Baptist churches), and how this season is so important in informing our faith.

I received an advanced copy of this book from Netgalley. All opinions are my own.

I have liked all of the books in the Fullness of Time series, but this is my favorite as it focuses on the most important holiday in our Christian calendar. Hill quotes Aidan Kavanagh who wrote, "The liturgy...exists not to educate but to seduce people into participating in common activity of the highest order, where one is freed to learn things which cannot be taught." I feel like this statement could also refer to this book. Unlike other volumes in the series, Hill doesn't spend a lot of time on the history of the celebration or the customs surrounding it. Rather he seduces readers into Easter and how it changed the world.

This book is very well written, I think it’s great for new believers and people who are just starting out to explore Christianity. I highly recommend it.

A good addition to the Fullness of Time series, with poignant reflections about the resurrection of Christ and what it means for the church today.
