Negative Positive
Title: Frightening and uplifting
Review: This book faces facts head-on. Christianity has been doing things wrong for two millenia now, and Spong wants things to change. This isn't going to be an easy change for many people.... in fact, most Christians won't be able to handle this change, as it stands directly in conflict with what the majority believes. This book also brings to light a lot of information that the average believer misses out on. A lot of things that is "common knowledge" among scholars that just doesn't seem to filter down to Joe-Christian.I look forward to John Shelby Spong's next book, and recommend this book to anyone who's had enough of the close-minded fundamentalism that seems to show up everywhere in our [North American] culture.
