Eternal Life: A New Vision

di John Shelby Spong (Autore)

HarperOne, 2009

Bishop John Shelby Spong is a leading Christian liberal and human rights advocate. In this thought-provoking spiritual discourse, he goes beyond religion to explore the question of whether there is life beyond death. Spong discusses the concept of eternal life and how he came to believe that it does exist, although in a very different form than popular assumptions about heaven and hell. Spong, author of Jesus for the Non Religious, Why Christianity Must Change or Die and many other books, challenges traditional Christian theology, arguing that humans are one with God, and part of an eternity that continues after physical death. This remarkable book presents a fascinating and controversial view of life, death, and the meaning of existence. John Shelby Spong was the Episcopal Bishop of Newark before his retirement in 2000, and is one of the leading spokespersons for liberal Christianity. His books include Jesus for the Non Religious, Sins of Scripture, A New Christianity for a New World, Rescuing the Bible from Fundamentalism, Resurrection: Myth or Reality?, Why Christianity Must Change or Die, and his autobiography, Here I Stand. He has initiated landmark discussions of controversies within the church and has become an outspoken advocate for change. “Spong’s thought and theology are crucial stimulants for every thinking Christian; an important book.” — Library Journal
