FROM HOLY WEEK TO EASTER

Following the God who is going before us

George Pattison

Professor George Pattison takes the reader on a reflective journey through Holy Week to Easter, considering the events which were to change humankind's understanding of the purposes and holiness of God.

As the author says in the Introduction, he does not seek ‘to instruct, to define or to exhort, but rather to invite the reader to a closer reflection of his or her own involvement with the story'. The words of Jesus form a mirror in which we can see ourselves and our desires magnified and clarified.

This book had its origin in a series of sermons and addresses given at Christ Church Cathedral, Oxford in 2007. It offers original and refreshing insights into the timeless themes of hope, love, prophecy, the natural world, friendship, betrayal and death.

GEORGE PATTISON is Lady Margaret Professor of Divinity at the University of Oxford and a Canon of Christ Church, and he was Dean of King's College, Cambridge 1991-2001. His publications include examination of the works of Søren Kierkegaard and Martin Heidegger; he has also written about the technological society and the relationship between theology and culture.
