The Sins of Scripture: Exposing the Bible's Texts of Hate to Reveal the God of Love

Autor John Shelby Spong
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 13 mar 2006
The Bible contains many passages that believers and nonbelievers alike would recognize as appalling theology. Whether these texts are used to discriminate, oppress, or condemn, they distort the truth of Christianity and cast doubt upon the love of God. Now, legendary Episcopal bishop and advocate for liberal Christianity John Shelby Spong addresses these passages, shattering our misconceptions and delivering a new vision of how Christians today can use the Bible.
