Bishop Jack Spong - Biblical Literalism: A Gentile Heresy
Thursday 11 June 2015
If one could read Matthew’s Gospel with Jewish eyes, we would know that many of the stories were not written to be understood literally, but to be read as Jewish stories fulfilling the Scriptures.

If we knew the liturgical calendar of the Synagogue, we could recognize the organising principle behind Matthew’s Gospel. Bishop Jack Spong will further explore the fact that Biblical fundamentalism is so often the response of Gentile worshippers who are unfamiliar with anything Jewish. He will invite us to look at Matthew’s Gospel with a new set of eyes.
