Biblical Literalism: A Gentile Heresy
Offers a Radical New Way to Look at the Gospels
“‘Thy kingdom come’ means that our eyes must be trained to see the divine inside the human. It means that the kingdom of God comes when we are empowered to live fully, to love wastefully, and to be all that we are capable of being. It means that the work of the kingdom of God is the work of enhancing human wholeness; it is not the work of denigrating humanity or proclaiming the doctrine of original sin and human ‘fallenness.’”[John Shelby Spong, Biblical Literalism]
“Delightedly publishing another book as he nears 85, Spong returns to a main theme of his career, the Jewishness of Christianity, denial of which, he holds, amounts to a heresy so malign that it will destroy Christianity in the twenty-first century…vibrantly accessible.”[Booklist]
“Skewers historical readings of Matthew and turns the passages toward issues of dignity, social justice, and transformation.”[Library Journal]
