Eternal Life: A New Vision

Bishop Spong, author of Jesus for the Non Religious and Why Christianity Must Change or Die, is known for his controversial ideas and fighting for minority rights. As a Southerner, Spong also has a natural gift for storytelling. These qualities come through in this remarkable spiritual autobiography about his lifelong struggle with the questions of God and death in which he reveals how he ultimately came to believe in eternal life. God, says Spong, is ultimately one, and each of us is part of that oneness. This is how we live on after death: not in Heaven or Hell, but as part of the eternity that continues after we die beyond the barriers of time and space. Spong says the discovery of the eternal can be found within each of us as we go deeper into ourselves. By seeking it, by living each day to its fullest, we will come to understand how we live on after death.
