John Shelby Spong.


I joined a group on Facebook called Fans of John Shelby Spong.

I was impressed with the variety and quality of the videos presented.

Although Spong does not present a developed vision of Progressive Christianity his work on the Bible in particular is the starting point for all who choose to take this journey.

Spong will be remembered as the Founding Father of Progressive Christianity or the new approach to religion by whatever name it comes to be known.

His work on the compilation and context of the Bible and his perspective in relation to outdated worldviews is essential to the survival of religion in the 21st Century.

I am proud to say that I am a fan of John Shelby Spong.
