Negative Positive
Title: A Revisionism Crusade
Review: All the editorial reviews predictably sing Spong's praises as a visionary, persecuted in his own time like all the great prophets. Spong's liberation and revisionist theology continues in this latest work, only with the added theology of "Eco-Justice." The bishop also continues his self-portrayal as some pioneering martyr, struggling for a reformed church. In actuallity this reformation is nothing more than he and the "Jesus Seminar" carving up the scriptures like some grizzly Halloween pumpkin - picking and choosing which verses to believe from 20 centuries away like a group of bittys sorting through beads at a swap meet.
Is the review positive or negative?
