Liberating the Gospels: Reading the Bible with Jewish Eyes

Liberating the Gospels: Reading the Bible with Jewish Eyes – Bishop Spong's Remarkable View of Midrashic Stories and Their Power to Reveal Jesus's True Significance

In this boldest book since Rescuing the Bible from Fundamentalism, Bishop John Shelby Spong offers a compelling view of the Gospels as thoroughly Jewish tests.Spong powerfully argues that many of the key Gospel accounts of events in the life of Jesusâ€”from the stories of his birth to his physical resurrectionâ€”are not literally true. He offers convincing evidence that the Gospels are a collection of Jewish midrashic stories written to convey the significance of Jesus. This remarkable discovery brings us closer to how Jesus was really understood in his day and should be in ours.
