Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

In the history of the Western World, the Bible has been a perpetual source of inspiration and guidance for countless Christians. However, this Bible has also left a trail of pain. Controversial bishop and champion of liberal Christianity John Shelby Spong explores those passages that have been used to justify oppression, violence, discrimination against women and homosexuals, and murder. As he exposes and challenges what he calls the "terrible texts of the Bible," laying bare the evil done in the name of God, he also seeks to redeem them, hoping to recover their ultimate depth and purpose. As Spong battles against the way the Bible has been used throughout history, he provides a new framework for interpretation, explaining how the Bible's overall good news overcomes these "terrible texts," and delivering a fresh, inspiring message of how Christians can use the Bible today.John Shelby Spong was the Episcopal Bishop of Newark before his retirement in 2000. As a visiting lecturer at Harvard and at universities and churches throughout North America and the English-speaking world, he is one of the leading spokespersons for liberal Christianity. His books include A New Christianity for a New World, Rescuing the Bible from Fundamentalism, Resurrection: Myth or Reality?, Why Christianity Must Change or Die, and his autobiography, Here I Stand."A valuable modernist manifesto for progressive readers seeking a response to the conservative theology dominating the news these days." -Boston Globe.…
