Jesus Christ - charismatic hero or outdated icon of a has-been faith? David Day argues that for many Christians, faith is far from easy and can all too often slide into dutiful observance. Doggedly following routine and habit can deaden the spirit and faith only catches fire when it encounters the living and magnetic Christ. The author demonstrates the attractiveness of Jesus as it appears in the gospels and the rest of the New Testament, in Christian writing and reflection, both in past centuries and today.
