Is Easter Biblical? An Examination of the Resurrection and Christian Observance
This course explores the biblical foundations and historical development of the Christian celebration of Easter, addressing whether the holiday itself is explicitly commanded in Scripture and how the core events it commemorates are central to Christian faith. We will analyze key biblical texts, historical practices, and theological implications, particularly through the lens of the Assemblies of God doctrine of Scripture as the 'all-sufficient rule.'
