Jesus For The Non-religious

BY JOHN SHELBY SPONG

Brief Description:
Writing from his prison cell in Nazi Germany in 1945 Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a young German theologian, sketched a vision of what he called "religionless Christianity." In this book, John Shelby Spong puts flesh onto the bare bones of Bonhoeffer's radical thought. The result is a strikingly new and different portrait of Jesus of Nazareth-a Jesus for the non-religious. Spong challenges much of the traditional understanding that has for so long surrounded the Jesus of history. Spong proposes a new way of understanding the divinity of Christ: as the ultimate dimension of a fulfilled humanity.
