Description: In The Romance of Religion, Longenecker calls for the return of the romantic hero---the hero who knows his frailty and can fight the good fight with panache, humor, and courage. Conflict and romance are everywhere in the story of Christ, and our response is to dust off our armor, pick up our swords, and do battle for Christ.
