Uncovering Easter

Testing Tradition in the Light of Scripture

By: Chad and Alissa Gardner

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

What if some of our most familiar Easter traditions were never tested against Scripture?

For generations, Christians have celebrated Easter with deep sincerity, reverence, and joy. Yet few believers have ever been invited to examine where many of these traditions came from, or whether they align with the pattern of worship God established in Scripture.

Uncovering Easter is not an attack on the resurrection of Jesus Christ. It is a careful, Scripture-centered examination of how cultural customs, historical practices, and religious tradition became intertwined with one of Christianity’s most sacred seasons.

Drawing from both biblical teaching and historical context, this book asks a question Scripture itself encourages:
Have we tested what we practice or simply inherited it?

God’s Word repeatedly calls His people to discernment: “Test all things; hold fast what is good.” (1 Thessalonians 5:21)

In Uncovering Easter, readers are invited to do exactly that.

Inside This Book, You Will Discover:

• How modern Easter customs developed over time and what influenced them
• What Scripture actually commands regarding remembrance and worship
• Why sincerity alone does not determine whether worship pleases God
• The biblical difference between tradition, liberty, and obedience
• How to evaluate religious practices without fear, pride, or legalism

This book does not tell readers what to think. It equips them with biblical tools to test tradition honestly and faithfully.

Who This Book Is For

Uncovering Easter is written for church-going Christians who love Scripture, value truth, and desire worship that reflects God’s heart rather than cultural expectation. It is especially helpful for:

• Parents seeking clarity as they disciple their children
• Believers sensing tension between tradition and Scripture
• Leaders wanting to address difficult questions with humility and grace
• Anyone longing for faith rooted more deeply in God’s Word

Part of the Test All Things Series

This book is part of the Test All Things series, a collection designed to help believers examine long-held traditions through the lens of Scripture, so that what remains is not inherited custom, but obedient faith.

You do not need to fear Scripture’s light.
You do not need to defend tradition to love Jesus.
