Progressive Christian Reading

[Pacigoth13]

Here is a new thread to discuss progressive books...

First off, has anyone heard of/ read John Dominic Crossan?

I love The Good Book by Peter Gomes.

 

[Pacigoth13]

Ah yes, Peter Gomes. I like his works as well. My favourite is the Good Life. He is friends with Tony Campola, whom I like a lot as well.

Have you read any of the books by the Jesus Seminar?

 

[PaladinValer]

They are too liberal for me.

They are too liberal for me.

They are too extreme for me, too. There's a difference between being liberal and just being out in left field. I went to hear Bishop John Spong speak a few weeks ago, and he said that he and Marcus Borg were considered the conservatives of the Jesus Seminar.

I'm reading Borg's Reading the Bible Again for the First Time. I agree with some of it, not all.

Yuck. Steer clear....
