I read the ICPL (public library)'s copy of Bishop Spong's new book Eternal Life. I'm afraid I found it too slow and repetitive for me at this time. There are a lot of wonderful reviews of it on Amazon, so I think I just didn't fit well. At times in my life Spong has been my favorite church writer. I've always been able to trust him to tell me the unadorned truth. So my library contains several of his books. I just won't be buying this one.
