by Kevin McKinney (Author)

Easter, three days that changed the world forever. - In today's world, we have two very different images of Easter. The first is the celebration of Jesus' resurrection, and the second is the Easter Bunny, accompanied by all the candy and eggs. Can we sort out the truth from the hype and commercialism of Easter? What can archaeology and ancient historical texts reveal about the Easter Story? Can we separate the two Easters, the one recorded in the Bible and the one with the cute bunny?
Examine the evidence, consider the traditions, myths, and evidence. In this compact guide, we will take a closer look at each of the elements, the people, and the places of the Easter Story. These included the Last Supper, Pontius Pilate, Caiaphas, the Cross, the Empty Tomb, and the Resurrection. Did the sun really go dark? How did Jesus actually die? Separate the modern-day elements from the actual Biblical story of Easter. Examine the evidence for yourself, then decide what the truth is and what is a cute fairy tale.
