Episcopal Bishop John Shelby Spong was on MPR’s Midmorning radio talk show for two hours last week. (Hour One | Hour Two). He’s authored a couple of books, including “Rescuing the Bible From Fundamentalism” and “Why Christianity Must Change or Die.”
I like what this guy has to say, for the most part. He really knows how to fire intellectual bullets in the childish notions of God and Jesus. But there’s something mildly irritating in his tone, and I can’t quite put my finger on what it is.
