In The Equinox and the Real Story behind Easter, Robin Walker asks some very deep questions of religious orthodoxy, such as:

1. What is Easter?
2. What is this time of year supposed to represent?
3. If it represents the death and resurrection of the founder of Christianity, why does it change every year?
4. Is it true that portions of the Christian tradition were copied from much older religions such as that of the Ancient Babylonians and the Egyptians?
