Between Cross and Resurrection: A Theology of Holy Saturday

After Good Friday but before Easter Sunday, there's Holy Saturday, a Sabbath time of mournful waiting. Although this holy day is not highly ritualized in Christian tradition, theologian Alan Lewis argues in Between Cross and Resurrection: A Theology of Holy Saturday that all three days from Jesus' crucifixion to his resurrection are meant to be understood as a coherent narrative. This is an original interpretation of a relatively unmined topic, a rare achievement in Christian theology. ( May)
