John Shelby Spong has been on a lifelong quest to rescue the church from irrelevancy. Now he takes aim at the church's core belief: who is Jesus? He strips the superstitious myths that have attached themselves to this incredible person, such as that Jesus was born of a virgin in Bethlehem, that his father was Joseph, that he did miracles, that he had twelve disciples, and especially that he physically rose from the dead. Spong explains how these traditions arose by the early disciples seeing all that Jesus did through the lens of the Hebrew scriptures. We can then see the true Jesus, a heroic figure who revealed divinity through his humanness and can still guide us today.
