About This Item
HarperCollins, Australia, 2007. Softcover. Very Good Condition. The controversial and best-selling bishop and moral activist attempts to wrestle Jesus from the binding ties of religion so he can become the spiritual and moral hero our world needs. John Shelby Spong has been on a life-long quest to rescue the church from irrelevancy. In 'Jesus for the Non-Religious', he takes aim at the church's core belief and asks: who is Jesus? He first strips the superstitious barnacles that have attached themselves to this incredible person: such as that Jesus was born of a virgin in Bethlehem, that his father was Joseph, that he performed miracles, that he had twelve disciples, and especially that he physically rose from the dead. Next Spong explains how these traditions arose by the early disciples seeing all he did through the lens of the Hebrew Scriptures. With these new revelations, we are then able to see the true Jesus, a heroic figure who revealed divinity through his humaneness and can still guide us today. In short, Spong breaks Jesus free from the idol religion has created and restores for us a revolutionary and life-giving figure we all need to meet. 316 pages. Quantity Available: 1.
