In Jesus for the non religious Spong serves up the same old liberal agenda that has been leveld at the bible for years. there is nothing particularly new here. despite his assertions no new biblical scholarship emerges. what is perplexing however are the conclusions he draws from his hermineutic. He says Christianity is dying but the cureis his brand of liberal nothing in the bible is really true theology. strange but the churches that are dying proclaim his thoughts continualy to fewer and fewer parishioners. on the other hand the churches who preach a literal resurrection literally are growing.Spong takes great pains to share his integrity and honesty. how is it he can be so outspoken a proponent of the teachings of the uniterian church while wearing the mantle of an episcopalian bishop. did he forget the vows he took at his ordination.Spong esentially takes a Unitarian theology wraps it in the mantle of a Christian bishop and gets rich selling books and making speaches.
