Description

Episcopalian Bishop John Shelby Spong reveals how literal interpretations of Scripture have been used to justify slavery, ban textbooks, deny the rights of gays and lesbians, subordinate women, and justify war and revenge. Spong combines current biblical scholarship, modern science, and most of all his deep love and respect for Scripture to lift the Bible out of the prejudices and cultural biases of bygone eras.
