Description:

A New Creed for a New Millennium, from an Outspoken Advocate for a Christianity that is true to Jesus.

Building on his bestselling books Resucing the Bible from Fundamentalism and Living in Sin?, Bishop Spong explores the future of ethics, prayer, and Christianity itself. His manifesto is both the summation of his life's work and a guide for every reader searching for a reasoned, just, and loving faith.

"An important contribution to the Christian dilemma of our time. With reverence, courage, and compassion, Bishop Spong helps his readers to articulate their difficulties with the conception of God and, in so doing, top take the first step toward a creative resolution."
--Karen Armstrong, author of A History of God

"Spong is a singularity among ecclesiastical leaders in the twentieth century. His candor, courage, and acumen are unparalleled. He aspires to being a dying church back to life by fearlessly confronting the anomalies that have driven all too many Christians into exile."
--Robert W. Funk chair, The Jesus Seminar, and author of Honest to Jesus

"Spong demolishes the stifling dogma of traditional Christianity in search of the inner core of truth. It is a courageous, passionate attempt to build a credible theology for a skeptical, scientific age."
--Paul Davies, author of The Mind of God

Review Summary: Spong's Words Still Powerful Date: 2008-07-27
 
Details: It's been about ten years since John Shelby Spong wrote WHY CHRISTIANITY MUST CHANGE OR DIE. I count his words as true and still significant for Christianity's need to shift its belief from the God beyond the sky to the God who is deep within life and all of us. The ancient words of scripture have been so calcified among belief systems as to make God inaccessible. Many in exile over the theistic 'God of the sky' welcome a new path on which it is possible to experience the divine presence without coated 'churchianity' and the ancient language for guilt, rewards and punishment. Spong's WHY CHRSTIANITY MUST CHANGE OR DIE continues to be a welcome relief and perhaps an advent for experiencing God as never imagined.
