Description: Invites the church to renew its thought in response to the rigors of the post-modern era. Argues that it is only by holding up every doctrine, every belief, every practice to the light of rational inquiry that we can determine which ones have withstood the testing of our times. A provocative, radical, and liberating book intended to raise questions, open debate, and bring difficult issues into the arena for public debate and consideration. Spong believes that if Christians don't face these issues within the church then those outside the church will consider the church irrelevant.
