A definitive voice for progressive Christianity, Spong frees readers from a literal view of the Bible. He opens the possibility that some of the characters in the New Testament are imaginary composites or even literary creations. He explains why these particular books, written between 2000 and 3000 years ago, came to be regarded as authoritative and preserved as sacred; and he shows how people have misused many of these texts in the service of their prejudices. Also read John Shelby Spong's other compassionate and wise books.
