Book Reviews of Liberating the Gospels: Reading the Bible with Jewish Eyes
Book Review: An Enlightening Look At The Gospels
Summary: 5 Stars
I found J. S. Spong's work well written and to the point. This was a persuasive treatise on how to interpret the Gospels. Although the premise isn't new, the presentation of this material is such that anyone interested in this topic will find this work quite readable. The concept and points are clear,but it is not the type of work one rushes through. I give it high grades for its thoughtfulness, logic and presentation.The only question it leaves me with is how someone can take this view and profess to see Jesus more clearly and intimately. If what Spong says is true, then, we view Jesus only through midrashic glasses. We get a symbolic glimspe from people who never saw.
