Stephen Cottrell 
The Things He Said [EPUB ebook] 
The story of the first Easter Day

Support

The follow-up to the author’s highly successful The Things He Carried, this book takes the post-resurrection sayings of Jesus as starting-points and uses the same reflection format.

The meaning and significance of the resurrection, how it was first communicated and how it is communicated to us today, are explored by piecing together these sayings of Jesus.

However, the content may not quite be what we imagine. Following the resurrection, we would expect the triumphant ‘I have risen from the dead’. Yet Jesus’ statements are so different, so apparently innocuous, that they are often overlooked. The Christian faith stands or falls on the resurrection of Jesus; without it, says St Paul, we are to be most pitied. In this revelatory book of surprising reflections, Stephen Cottrell’s retelling of the Easter story encourages us to slow down and hear it properly – perhaps for the very first time.
