	Description:		Bishop John Shelby Spong has sold over a million books. He has been an outspoken advocate for religious literacy and social change in regards to race, gender, and sexuality. In 2013 he published his latest book , The Fourth Gospel: Tales of a Jewish Mystic. Bishop Spong found this gospel “almost repellent” because it has been used to foster an outdated pre-modern view of God, religious exclusivism, literalism, and anti-semitism. But when it is seen through the eyes of Jewish mysticism, it comes alive in a relevant way for 21st century seekers.
