I woud call John Shelby Spong one of the most effective speakers of our era. The fact that he is 16 years retired and still a better speaker than nearly all others, gives me hope for effectiveness in my own retirement and should make us ashamed at the pervasive job discrimination against the elderly.

judy thornber Hello from agnostic Lee. You like Spong and so do I. Finally he gives woman rights. I guess they found a woman has an egg for the baby through a microscope in the 1700s I think. Oh boy! I guess a woman has exactly half the DNA for the child! The average woman is a little less strong than the average man so their role is a little different but even that is changing. Woman are just as intelligent as men. They just were not given much chance in history. In some ways men are worse. 95% of the world wars even small ones are caused by men! A woman knows the pain of having a child or losing them. Men are the tribal ones when it comes to this. Love and take care.

A complete and total betrayal of Christ, the Gospel of Good News and the Bible and regrettably he has sold his soul like Judas did. He fails to understand that Jeus is the healer and uniter who will return to sought out the Sheep from the Goats.

As an atheist and partly humanist, this brought tears to my eyes.

@leegleissner9771 7 лет назад

Peter Eduard I am glad you like Spong. We need people like him to end prejudice,bigoted and ignorant religious people. Not all of them are like that but there are too many. Love and take care.

God bless you my beloved. the moment I want through my comment I saw a revelation concerning you, your family and things around you. my dear, I saw God favour, success, joy, breakthrough. behind that I saw more spiritual attacks, from the enemies working on holding such blessings, causing your set back, but you are lefted above any spiritual tower. so the Lord is instructing you to sow a seed of faith into to a motherless babies home.(orphanage) this is going to be a covenant seed between you and God. the Lord ask me to tell you before the end of,3 three days, you should try as much as possible to sow the seed the into godstime motherless babies home (orphanage) located in somewhere in Nigeria to bring spiritual and divine breakthrough in your life and that of your family because there is power in sowing of seed contact the (orphanage) home management or you can also WhatsApp them on this numbers,+2348025125218 if you are through with this let me know, so I will give you guide line on how you should pray God bless you..

No, they didn't miss that part of the Bible that says Thou shalt not kill, because Spong is dead of natural causes. Not of an assassination.

Love Jared Diamond and his terrific book Guns, Germs & Steel.

@magister343 8 лет назад

I wouldn't call it terrific. It is ok, but really redundant and not nearly as revolutionary and he tries to make it sound. The basic ideas are what was taught in social studied classes when I was in 6th grade. Charles C. Mann's "1491" is a much better book. It it about the same length, but densely packed with fascinating information. It covers all the subjects of " Guns, Germs & Steel" plus a whole lot more. It is much less fatalistic, showing ways that the Native American peoples were not as primitive as often assumed and had greater agency, but failed largely due to internal politics.

I love this guy. He's brilliant. I wish more preachers were like him.

@MaryPaulin 8 лет назад

I've had the book Guns, Germs, and Steel for about a million years. I hope to actually read it this year. And Dr. Spong, why haven't I read you yet, I'm sure you're on one of my "read before I die" lists. (Apparently I'm going to be around for a looooooong time.) Both of these speakers are inspiring and compelling.

Think of a world where all our religious leaders taught love,compassion and inclusiveness as Jesus did.(or was said to have) Bishop Spong,brave,evolved and embracing his and our humanity should be causing celebration not causing so called Christians to be afraid and angry and even murderously threatening. But this is our world. It is up to us to change that. Respectfully

I came for a Diamond and found a Ruby. What a kind and wonderful man. Militant atheists need to hear this man Mr Spong speak.

Shelby makes so much sense. He points cannot be disputed.

Im Brazilian, not theist in a religion style anymore - I would define myself as a "transcendentalist open-minded thinker" - but since I met this guy I loved him. He's a great and gracious man first of all, and a great and aware scholar about the meaning of this example of that cultural work about meaning made by a certain people, the bible. Always a pleasure, funny and tear come to my eyes everytime I watch him. Amazing and Astonishing guy. Get well soon, Shelb!

I am so blessed not to have jesus as my God anymore, truth doesn't exist in the God of the bible as claimed based on my experience

@Ryedo40 8 лет назад

First I've heard of Shelby. Seems a great guy. If only more theists were like him.

I agree with Spong. The gospels are literary accounts not some exact literal history. The gospels say Jesus healed many and resurrected the dead and walked on water etc. It said his fame spread throughout the land. There seems to be no contemporary writers who wrote about a famous man performing miracles. Perhaps but it seems strange. You have Jesus full of wisdom at the age of 12 at a certain synagog. No synagog has been found historically or at least not in that area. That to is not based on fact but myth. There may of been but nobody knows for sure. You have him ascending into heaven 2 completely different locations. We know this won't work unless there is some form of antigravity and a spacecraft would have to pick him up. We know in the 21st century this is problematic. Take care.
