The sins of Scripture : exposing the Bible's texts of hate to reveal the God of love /
Spong, John Shelby,author.
"The Bible contains many passages that believers and nonbelievers alike would recognize as appalling theology. Whether these texts are used to discriminate, oppress, or condemn, they distort the truth of Christianity and cast doubt upon the love of God. Now, legendary Episcopal bishop and advocate for liberal Christianity John Shelby Spong addresses these passages, shattering our misconceptions and delivering a new vision of how Christians today can use the Bible"--Back cover.
Includes bibliographical references (pages 299-310) and index.
