Liberating the Gospels

Bishop John Shelby Spong presents a provocative interpretation of the Gospels, asserting that they are not literal accounts but rather Jewish midrashic narratives designed to express the significance of Jesus. He challenges traditional beliefs about key events in Jesus' life, from his birth to resurrection, providing compelling evidence for his claims. This exploration offers a fresh perspective on how Jesus was understood in his time and invites readers to reconsider their understanding of his legacy today.
