Riassunto

In his boldest book yet, Bishop Spong draws attention to the thoroughly Jewish substance beneath the surface of the New Testament.

He challenges traditional Christian understanding by examining the Gospel accounts of Jesus’ life and teaching through a Jewish lens. By connecting the Gospels to the style of the mid-rashic literature of Jesus’ era, he shows how the Gospel authors intended their stories to be perceived not as historic accounts of actual events but rather as interpretative narratives about the meaning of Jesus, using images and themes from the Hebrew bible.
