About this audiobook
A new religious reformation may be in order - a visionary and propensive revitalization of Christianity, that knows Jesus as a gateway to the Great Mystery or God, and also honors great teachers and exemplars of other traditions. This is a Christianity based on justice, compassion, love and the emergence of a new humanity. As someone with abundant pastoral experience, as well being an accomplished scholar, Spong speaks eloquently to the changing times and delivers both inspiration and hope in this stirring dialogue.
