Alexander Pruss argues:
1) It is important for Christian life that one unite one’s daily sacrifices with Christ’s sufferings on the cross.
2) Uniting one’s sufferings with something non-existent is not important for Christian life.
3) So, Christ’s sufferings on the cross are a part of reality.
4) So, presentism is false.
The Prussian argument is an enthymeme the tacit premise of which is
0) On presentism, only temporally present events exist or are real.
Add the above to your Holy Saturday meditations.
