Has anybody read any of John Shelby Spong's books? Presently, I am reading "Why Christianity Must Change Or Die".
While I agree, that man has, at times, placed God in a box, I feel Bishop Spong wants to throw out the baby with the bathwater.
Basically, I feel that the abuses done by the hierarchy in religion is no reason to think the history of God needs to be rewritten.
His ideas that evolution is how God created and that the Virgin birth wasn't virgin and that the miracles didn't really take place leave me wondering just exactly what he leaves to worship.
Thoughts, comments???
