Easter from the Back Side: A Different Look at the Story of Christ's Resurrection Paperback – December 1, 2008

"Easter from the Back Side" gives a truly unique, and different perspective to the Easter story. It makes you stop, and really THINK about one's embedded understanding of Easter, and gives you a fresh look at other scriptures as possibly having the same elements of Easter. I found it as a wonderful book study as it offers thought provoking questions for each chapter, and the suggested activities were a nice touch to wrap up a chapter.

Once again Dr. Kalas gives us a new view of Easter. As he has done in his other books in the "From the Backside" series, he draws on the entire Bible and the social atmosphere of the time of Jesus to shed light on the meaning of Easter for Christians. It is a great group study book in both formal and informal settings.

We enjoyed this Bible study about Easter from the Backside. Many of us were not aware of the concept of the Easter story being in so many Books of the Bible. It was a refreshing, eye-opening experience in knowing that people can relate to the grace of God in so many different areas of the Bible.

this study is wonderful. My small group has done this for 2 years at Easter and we learn something new every time. It ties the Old Testament into the New Testament and gives great background to better understand what i happening. We are going to do the Christmas from the backside at the seasonal time. Can't wait.

Gave this to the pastor for his birthday.

This book is being used as a home study for the Lenten Season leading up to Easter. It is easy to read and a great book for group discussion and personal preparation for the most important day of our Liturgical Year.

Another thoughtful and inspiring book by an intelligent and experienced Christian author. I recommend it as a great Lenten study.

good six week Lenten Bible Study. Could be used as regular short study
