Bishop John Shelby Spong

Today's most prominent liberal Christian is John Spong, an Episcopal Bishop. He has written several books attacking various aspects of traditional Christianity, including Biblical literalism, theism and the virgin birth of Christ. Spong suggests now is the time for Christianity to remake itself into something more modern and reasonable. But conservative Christianity seems to be flourishing more than ever, while liberal churches are showing declines in membership. Is Spong out of touch with the times, or is he a vanguard of a movement to come? Time will tell.
