Maggiori informazioni sul libro

The book presents a critical examination of the Fourth Gospel, arguing that its interpretation by early church leaders has led to a misunderstanding of its true nature. John Shelby Spong posits that rather than being a literal biography, it serves as a literary retelling of Jesus' life, incorporating fictional characters to convey deeper meanings. The work emphasizes the importance of Jewish scriptures and worship practices, while also framing Jesus within the context of first-century Jewish mysticism, urging readers to reconsider traditional views of Christianity.
