Can a Bishop Be Wrong? by Peter C. Moore Pdf

An eminent group of Episcopal scholars and bishops addresses the core issues raised in Bishop Spong's books and teachings on the Virgin birth, resurrection, sexuality, scripture, sin, Jesus, culture, and God. These essays are incisive responses to an articulate and charismatic public figure whose provocative writings have stirred traditional and non-traditional thinkers alike. While acknowledging that Spong's writing strikes a chord with lay people in the churches and the general public, the book's authors believe a balanced response is needed. They accomplish this by commending the bishop for having the courage of his convictions while challenging his teachings on the cornerstone beliefs of Christian tradition.

Wrong Notions People Have About Bishops by Bishop O. Innocent Pdf

WHY THIS BOOK? A lot of people have several notions about what the word BISHOP stands for with regards to the church, ministry and the Bible. Some even say it is not biblical. They posit that what the Bibles has in mind is ELDERS which in Greek has the same root as BISHOP. Others are of the opinion that it makes a man arrogant. While many are found who say that it promotes materialism and arrogance in the church of Christ. Another school of thought says that the dress the bishop wears is the epitome of occultism. This book is not written to argue with anyone. We are in a time where freedom of opinion is guaranteed in many lands and clime. Therefore, people are free to hold their view no matter how divergent. It must be acknowledged also that even among those that search the Bible, divergent views and opinions have led to the formation of many denominations, cults and independent chapels and will continue to be so till we all come to the full knowledge of Jesus Christ. So what is this book about? It is an examination of the Bible in the simplest way and language possible, regarding the word or office of a Bishop. It is an examination of several dictionaries with a view to understanding the full meaning of the word in its simplest form as it pertains to the church and the English language which incidentally is our medium of communication. It is a study of church practices regarding the office of a bishop as has evolved since the history of the church began. It is a presentation of the opinion of a few authorities on the matter. It is also an analytical formation and presentation of a conclusion by the author who incidentally is not only a bishop himself but has no less than forty bishops under him. It is an ecumenical presentation by a Pentecostal. It is hoped that this will provoke further study in the church without recourse to unnecessary arguments and genealogy. It is also the prayers of the author that students of Bible colleges and other Bible examining institutions will find the book useful as a reference material.

Why Christianity Must Change or Die by John Shelby Spong Pdf

An important and respected voice for liberal American Christianity for the past twenty years, Bishop John Shelby Spong integrates his often controversial stands on the Bible, Jesus, theism, and morality into an intelligible creed that speaks to today's thinking Christian. In this compelling and heartfelt book, he sounds a rousing call for a Christianity based on critical thought rather than blind faith, on love rather than judgment, and that focuses on life more than religion.

The Sins of Scripture by John Shelby Spong Pdf

In the history of the Western World, the Bible has been a perpetual source of inspiration and guidance for countless Christians. However, this Bible has also left a trail of pain. It is undeniable that the Bible is not always used for good. Sometimes the Bible can seem overtly evil. Sometimes its texts are terrible. Bishop John Shelby Spong boldly approaches those texts that have been used through history to justify the denigration or persecution of others while carrying with them the implied and imposed authority of the claim that they were the "Word of God." As he exposes and challenges what he calls the "terrible texts of the Bible", laying bare the evil done by these texts in the name of God, he also seeks to redeem these texts, hoping to recover their ultimate depth and purpose. Spong looks specifically at texts used to justify homophobia, anti-Semitism, treating women as second-class humans, corporal punishment, and environmental degradation, but he also delivers a new picture of how Christians can use the Bible today. As Spong battles against the way the Bible has been used throughout history, he provides a new framework, introducing people to a proper way to engage this holy book of the Judeo-Christian tradition.
