This is an account, at once rigorously theological and warmly devotional, of the death and resurrection of Christ, and their significance for the Christian life. Von Balthasar offers sharp insights into some current controversies--for example, the 'bodiliness' of the Resurrection--and spiritual inspiration for the year round. This scholarly reflection of the climax of the Christian year is an established classic of contemporary Catholic theology.

The leader guide includes Scripture and excerpts from Wesley's writings and Rueben P. Job's original book Three Simple Rules. The guide provides commentary and gives youth ministers and study leaders detailed plans for each of the six sessions, discussion questions, activities, and worship ideas.
