Riassunto

In Jesus for the Non-Religious, bestselling author and moral activist John Shelby Spong challenges much of the traditional understanding that has for so long surrounded the Jesus o fhistory, from the tale of his miraculous birth to a virgin, to the account of his cosmic ascension into the sky at the end of his life. Spong proposes a new way of understanding the divinity of Christ: as the ultimate dimension of a fulfilled humanity that opens the meaning of the divine in all life.

Controversial as always, Spong breaks new ground, offering his readers a different way to understand the divine Christ through the lens of the fully human Jesus, calling on Christian leaders to step beyond Christianity's dying religious forms if they want this faith tradition to live in the 21st century.
