Behind the red eggs and beautiful customs lies the bold, almost unbelievable message of Easter: Jesus rose from the dead and now everything is different.

In this small book, Tom Wright, one of the most influential theologians in Western Christianity today, speaks about the Resurrection on two levels: firstly on a historical level, rereading the texts (the gospel narratives and Paul's references) in a straightforward and captivating way, and secondly seeking the meaning of the Resurrection today: something has changed since that morning, something that concerns us directly.

The author's reflection is summarized in the following excerpt: “The people we serve, the people we work with in the lab or the fine arts department, the people who serve us at the grocery store or who work at the power station, are not 1st-century Jews! How can we invite them as Jesus invited his contemporaries? How can we motivate them in the same way? What is the equivalent today? What is the key that will help us ‘translate’ the message of Jesus' resurrection into our own dialect – to make it our own?”
