The controversial bishop exposes and challenges what he calls the ?terrible texts of the Bible?, laying bare the evil done by adherents of these texts in the name of God. Yet Spong also seeks to redeem these texts, hoping to recover their ultimate depth and purpose. He looks specifically at texts used to justify homophobia, anti-Semitism, sexism, corporal punishment, and environmental degradation.
