Have you ever wondered why Christians chose the symbol of the cross to represent their faith? How does Easter and its traditions connect with the Christian faith, the Jesus of the Bible and everyday life in the world today?
Despite our critical generation, which has shattered the reputations of many great personalities of the past, Jesus Christ remains a dominant figure. J John's timely book for a questioning generation looks at the life and death of Jesus, and considers what happened at the crucifixion. Was it really God's funeral and what can it possibly mean to us today?
What's the Point of Easter? is a full-colour mix of beautiful photographs, attractive and engagingly laid out graphics and straight forward text. Words and pictures together frame the questions the world needs to ask and explains the answers that Christians and non-Christians need to hear - the true meaning of Easter for a modern audience.
