In his bestselling book Why Christianity Must Change or Die, Bishop John Shelby Spong described the toxins that are poisoning the Church.
Now he offers the antidote, calling Christians everywhere into a new and radical reformation for a new age. Here he diagnoses the collapse of ancient theism, challenging believers to outgrow the concept of an invasive supernatural deity.
Drawing on lectures delivered at Harvard University, Spong demonstrates how evolutionary science and modern scholarship undermine doctrines of original sin. This volume reinterprets prayer, urging a post-theistic church to seek the Ground of All Being in boundless love and human dignity.
Spong looks beyond traditional boundaries to open new avenues and a new vocabulary into the Holy, proposing a Christianity premised upon justice, love, and the rise of a new humanity — a vision of the power that might be.
