Bishop John Shelby Spong on Interfaith Voices

This week the outspoken, intriguing, and often controversial Episcopalian Bishop (retired) John Shelby Spong will be the main guest on the Interfaith Voices online radio program.

Bishop Spong is a prolific writer, publishing books and giving talks on important topics sensitive to an audience interested in reinterpreting and revisioning traditional Christian doctrines and practices. The titles of some of his past books speak to his forward-thinking concerns: Rescuing the Bible From Fundamentalism, Living in Sin?: A Bishop Rethinks Human Sexuality, A New Christianity for a New World, and Why Christianity Must Change or Die. His relentless progressive perspective has given support and a significant voice to openminded and inclusive Christian communities throughout the world.

His most recent book is called Eternal Life: A New Vision, which is on rethinking images and notions of heaven, hell, and the afterlife from a Christian context and understanding.
