Summary:
Bishop Spong makes a clear case against the dangers of a literal interpretation of the Bible and argues that we need to rethink the Bible's story in the light of the realities of modern-day science and contemporary lifestyles. He calls for a new dialogue on the Bible, on that will incorporate the truth and beauty of scripture with an understanding of the culture in which the Bible was written.
