Holy Saturday Faith by Ian G Wallis

A theology of Easter Saturday which aims to illuminate its true significance for contemporary Christians. Offering a humane and liberal theology, Ian Wallis uses insights from the anatomy of grief to explore how the earliest community of faith responded to the agony of loss accompanying Jesus' death. According to this interpretation, Holy Saturday represents the interval of bereavement wherein the real significance of Jesus' continuing impact for faith was discovered. To this instructively practical element Wallis adds two resources. In the appendix, he looks at the place of Holy Saturday in the Early Church. Then he provides a working liturgy, embodying the findings of the book.
