The Crucifixion and Resurrection of Jesus comprise the two-part
event at the heart of the Christian story. Because of its unique
meaning and the intense emotions it invokes, Holy Week brings high
expectations on the part of congregations and places unusual
demands on those who deliver the messages. It takes a specially
gifted preacher to communicate the profundity of Christ's Passion
and its supreme relevance for our contemporary world.
Fleming Rutledge is just such a preacher. Heralded by
congregations and peers alike as one of today's most compelling and
powerful Christian voices, Mrs. Rutledge is also a best-selling
author whose previous collections of sermons have touched readers
deeply. This new volume, representing twenty-five years of Holy
Week and Easter preaching, offers a wide-ranging vision of the
Cross and Resurrection that will inform and inspire committed
believers and serious seekers alike.
Divided into seven sections that progress through Holy Week from
Palm Sunday to Good Friday to Easter and on through Eastertide,
these sermons incorporate the biblical themes of sacrifice for sin,
vicarious suffering, victory over evil and death, and the new
creation arising out of eternal love. Many of these sermons are
brand-new; others -- especially those for Good Friday -- have been
rethought and reworked over a period of years. None have ever been
published before. All of them consistently display Mrs. Rutledge's
startling ability to bridge the message of the ancient biblical
texts with the distinct needs of modern people.
Intellectually engaging, pastorally wise, and beautifully
written, "The Undoing of Death" is accented with thirty-three
artistic masterpieces depictingthe events of Holy Week, making it a
feast for the eye as well as the soul.
