During Lent 2023, I started reading the books in the Fullness of Time series which explored the significance of the ancient church calendar.
- Lent. Esau McCaulley.
- Pentecost. Emilio Alvarez.
- Advent. Tish Harrison Warren.
- Christmas. Emily Hunter McGowin.
- Epiphany. Fleming Rutledge
- Easter. Wesley Hill (Released February 2025)
- Ordinary Time. Amy Peeler (Expected Spring 2026)
I just finished the Easter book. It was a short book.
Easter Sunday begins Eastertide, which is 40 days until Ascension Day in the Eastern Church or is 50 days until Pentecost in the Western Church. The Book of Acts is a main focus of study in the church during this time after Easter Sunday.
I highly recommend these books to get an overview of the importance of the calendar in Christian formation.
