An Easter Message from the Acting Dean
I read an article some time ago that described the Gospel accounts of Holy Week and Easter as being like an Agatha Christie murder mystery: there are plots and motives aplenty; among the actors in the drama are heroes and villains, brave people and cowards; the victim is killed and quickly buried. The Gospel narratives of Holy Week and Easter contain a classic murder mystery plot, but there are two major plot twists: the first is that we already know whodunit before reading the story. The second twist is a surprise ending: the murdered victim gets up from his grave three days later and walks away.
