Tanakh

Hello I have just registered and will tell you a little about myself. My actual name is Christopher Cox. I have used tanakh here because I have used it on other sites, and its quicker for people to write. In case you are wondering Tanakh is the Jewish name for the Old Testament I am age 68 and Married and retired. I live in London UK. I have a Baptist background and became a Christian in 1971. My view of the Bible and Christianity changed a number of years ago when I saw` a copy of Bishop Spong's book 'Liberating the Gospels' the title intrigued me because I didn't know they needed liberating! anyway I bought a copy and couldn't put it down' Not long after I bought 'Rescuing the Bible from Fundamentalism' I have just started on his latest book Biblical Literalism, A Gentile Heresy. I cant honestly say I agree with everything he says in his books, but I owe it to him for introducing to me the idea of Midrash and delving into the Jewish roots of Christianity.. I look forward to discussions with other site members.
