Book Reviews of Rescuing the Bible from Fundamentalism: A Bishop Rethinks the Meaning of Scripture
Book Review: Brilliant Book, Terrible Title
Summary: 5 Stars
This a fantastic, uplifting basic introduction to modern biblical scholarship. For the lay person in the pew, this book spells out current knowledge about biblical authorship and about what is known and not known about the environment in which the authors lived, worked and believed. Spong's book is engaging and easy to read while still providing good references and bibliography. Most importantly, Spong presents biblical scholarship in an uplifting faith-filled context.Why the reference to fundamentalism in the title? The whole intent of Spong's book is to answer the question: "How can Christians have a relevant, faith-filled approach to the bible if they can no longer accept the bible as literally true?"
