Speed doesn't kill, it's hitting the wall
As some of you may know from reading some of my previous posts, I am a big fan of Bishop John Shelby Spong. His books, videos and blogs have bought some reality to my faith.
I would like to encourage all of those who have a faith, but have been disillusioned by the blindness and unreality within the evangelical church to read his new book 'Unbelievable" is a MUST read.
Bible scholar and Episcopal bishop John Shelby Spong contends that there is mounting pressure among Christians for a radically new kind of Christianity—a faith deeply connected to the human experience instead of outdated dogma. To keep Christianity vital, he urges modern Christians to update their faith in light of these advances in our knowledge, and to challenge the rigid and problematic Church teachings that emerged with the Reformation. There is a disconnect, he argues, between the language of traditional worship and the language of the twenty-first century. Bridging this divide requires us to rethink and reformulate our basic understanding of God.
