Easter from the Back Side
J. Ellsworth Kalas
Using an approach similar to the one he took in "Parables from the
Back Side" and other books in the popular Back Side series," "
author J. Ellsworth Kalas opens up new possibilities of insight
into the biblical Easter story. The author looks beyond the
traditional gospel scriptures to connect the story of Christ s
resurrection with other stories and scriptures throughout the
Bible, including both the Old Testament and the New Testament.
Kalas s creative approach both clarifies basic teachings and
introduces new possibilities of meaning, even for those who are
most familiar with the Easter story. Enriched with contemporary
illustrations and personal experiences, this volume will provide
new perspectives on Easter. Chapter titles and Scriptures include:
Why We Need Easter (Genesis 3:1-7, 22-24); Easter from an Ash Heap
(Job 19:13-27); Easter for the Disillusioned (Ecclesiastes
2:14-26); Ezekiel Celebrates Easter (Ezekiel 37:1-10); Easter Is a
Love Story (John 20:1-18); Late for Easter (1 Corinthians 15:1-11);
and Forever Easter (Revelation 21:1-4). J. ELLSWORTH KALAS is
president of Asbury Theological Seminary and has been part of the
faculty there since 1993, after thirty-eight years as a United
Methodist pastor and five years in evangelism with the World
Methodist Council. He has been a presenter on Disciple videos, is
the author of the "Christian Believer "study, and has written more
than thirty books, including the popular Back Side series; "Longing
to Pray: How the Psalms Teach Us to Talk with God; Strong Was Her
Faith: Women of the New Testament; "and "What I Learned When I Was
Ten."
