Pro Nobis: Christ’s Saving Work—Scripture Readings and Patristic Meditations for Easter Week

This devotional for Easter Week skillfully combines Bible passages that relate to the death and resurrection of the Lord Jesus-his saving work pro nobis (“for us”)-with relevant readings from the works of such figures from the Ancient Church as Tertullian, Origen, Athanasius, Hilary, Cyril of Jerusalem, Basil of Caesarea, Theodore of Mopsuestia, John of Damascus, and Timothy of Baghdad, to produce a vehicle for meditation on the historical events of what is undoubtedly the most important of all weeks.
