    About this audiobook

    Increasingly, theological positions on war, women, and discrimination against the gay community are at the heart of contemporary American political debate. At the center of these controversies is the Bible. Based on a cultural and historical context of the Bible, Spong gives us a worldview that promotes respect and love for each other, our planet and all of life.
