Description
Five hundred years after Martin Luther's Ninety-Five Theses sparked the Reformation, John Shelby Spong delivers twelve forward-thinking theses to spark a new reformation and reinvigorate Christianity.
The faith is in crisis, with Christians struggling to reconcile outdated doctrine with advances in human knowledge. Spong argues that it's time for a radically new kind of Christianity, one deeply connected to the human experience. He urges modern Christians to update their faith in light of these advances and challenge rigid Church teachings that emerged during the Reformation.
The disconnect between traditional worship language and 21st-century thought is bridged by rethinking our understanding of God. Spong sees Luther's movement as a model for today's discontented Christians, who are grappling with questions about the meaning of God and the authority of the Church.
