John Shelby Spong/God and Other Dirty Words

Bishop John Shelby Spong has been called ignorant and arrogant. He’s also been called a courageous visionary and a deeply committed Christian. Spong is a leading spokesperson for progressive Christianity. This week on Tapestry, he tells Mary Hynes about his life-long love of the Bible—and his view that much of it is out of date. The Sins of Scripture by John Shelby Spong is published by Harper Collins.

Also on the program — God and Other Dirty Words — Frank Faulk's documentary examining our ambivalence about religious language.
