Open Door Class Begins Studying the Latest Spong Book
On Sunday, April 5, 2009, the Open Door Sunday School Class began studying the latest book by Bishop John Shelby Spong, Jesus for the Non-Religious. In this book, Spong invites his readers to look at Jesus through the lens of both the Jewish scriptures and the liturgical life of the first-century synagogue. Dismissing the dispute about Jesus’ nature that consumed the church’s leadership for the first 500 years of Christian history as irrelevant, Spong proposes a new way of understanding the divinity of Christ: as the ultimate dimension of a fulfilled humanity.
