Using approaches from the Hebrew interpretive tradition to discern the actual events surrounging Jesus' death, Bishop Spong questions the hitorical validity of literal narrative concerned the Ressurection. He asserts that the resurrection story was born in an experience that opened the disciples' eyes to the reality of God and the meaning of Jesus of Nazareth. Spong traces the Christian origins of anti-Semitism to the Church's fabrication of the ultimate Jewish scapegoat, Judas Iscariot. He affirms the inclusiveness of the Christian message and emphasizes the necessity of mutual integrity and respect among Christians and Jews.

The book "Resurrection: Myth or Reality?" by Episcopalian Bishop John Shelby Spong will challenge even the most devout believer in Jesus Christ, especially those at the Conservative and Fundamentalist end of the Christian faith spectrum for whom the Bible is inerrent. Fundamentalists label Bishop Spong as a radical, even a heretic or atheist, in his modern Christian faith writings just as Jesus was labeled a radical in his teachings two-thousand yeas ago (e.g., "turn the other cheek").So, was Jesus' resurrection myth or reality? This reviewer will not give a detailed analysis of the entire book but will cut to the crux of the book.First, Bishop John Spong flat out states that the physical resurrection of Jesus Christ, as portrayed in the Gospels, is absolutely incorrect. The reason for this, as is for most of the Midrashic writings in the New Testament, is that the Gospels were incorrectly interpreted when very early Western / Eastern Christian pundits literalized the Gospel texts in the early First Century C.E. as objective, linear history. As a result, the Gospels, as well as much of the New Testament, have been incorrectly interpreted and taught to believers for two millennia.Why? The Gospels were written by Jewish authors for Jewish worshipers in the synagogue, who understood the Midrashic-writing style, story telling and teaching. These were never intended to record the objective, linear history of the very early Judaeo / Christian faith!The crux of Spong's book is found in pages 243-257. Jesus' crucifixion occurred in Jerusalem. Both the New Testament and secular, historical writings attest to this fact. Upon Jesus' crucifixion, Peter, John and Andrew fearfully fled north some 90+ miles to Galilee. Over the next six months, Bishop Spong says Simon (Peter) was the main character in the very early development of the Christian faith. Peter was extremely depressed, not making sense of his time with Jesus only to find Jesus executed and buried as a common criminal. Peter almost came to the conclusion that Jesus was in fact what the Jewish religious establishment said he was. But something in Peter's spirit told him differently.At the end of this six-month period of time in Galilee, it all came together for Peter. Jesus did not die because he was criminal according to the Jewish religious establishment but in fact died in order to set man free -- God's plan all along. It took Peter a long time to come to this conclusion. Peter began to understand Jesus was God's conduit of love and acceptance in a hurting world, both then and now. Peter recalled a teaching attributed to Jesus: "Blessed are your eyes for they see and your ears for the hear" (Matthew 13:16, NKJV).Peter began to "see". For him, the resurrection is in "the seeing". Hence, according to Bishop John Spong, Peter was the first to experience "resurrection" some 90 miles from the location of the crucifixion in Jerusalem six months before.In "seeing", Jesus said: "go and feed my sheep". The resurrection experience for Peter was in "the seeing" and carrying the message to other disciples and to serve / help those less fortunate. So, it is today two-thousand years later. Spong points out that all to many believers and individuals in high-level ecclesiastical positions today never "see", as evidenced by the lack of fruit produced in their lives.Thus, the resurrection is an individual personal experience, in "spiritual seeing" and encounting God, not a physical resucitation from being nailed to a wooden cross. That is what this reviewer has recently experienced in his life: a powerful spiritual awakening in "seeing"!Epilogue:In the end, I decided to walk away from Christianity in its entirity. I concluded its goal was and is to control its adherents despite its dogma of love taught over two millennia. Its tools are guilt, shame, judgment and fear as exemplified by many of its practitioners across Christendom. Spong made a strong case against these in the book. Simply put, in my opinion, Christianity no longer serves the spiritual needs of the thinking, postmodern man or woman of the 21st Century.I based my decision on the book reviewed here and Spong's excellent book "Christianity Must Change or Die".
