Search - Rescuing the Bible from Fundamentalism : A Bishop Rethinks the Meaning of Scripture

Excellent book! Bishop Spong reveals how literal interpretations of the Bible have been wrongly used to justify slavery, ban textbooks, deny human rights, subordinate women, and justify war and revenge. "Spong liberates the Bible's message of hope for ALL people". A great read for people who are tired of what has happened to modern Christianity and how the real message has been lost.

You know the tradition in Judaism to not spell out God because God is so awesome. Well..this book is so awesome that it feels like sacrilege to type out awesome in reference to it.

All kidding aside...the title of this book is excellent. I certainly feel like rescue is the proper descriptor for what this book does for those of us that sometimes feel lost on our journey. If you've ever considered yourself a seeker, atheist, agnostic, christian agnostic or lost sheep(or in my case, all of the above)....this may be a book for you.
