In April’s ‘Lutheran Witness’

Popular bloggers will maintain Lent is about simplifying life and purging closets, while cable channels will run Easter shows on whether or not Jesus actually existed.

The April edition of The Lutheran Witness sets the record straight on both, as well as discussing how to observe Lent within families, what makes Good Friday good and how to understand fasting during Lent. Authors for the issue also discuss the Easter Vigil service, what people can expect to hear and not hear in Easter sermons, and why Christians are a resurrection-remembering people.
