Spong??

I'm reading about Spong and these quotes caught my fancy:

“When a visitor enquired as to why there were two Baptist churches in this single tiny town (in east Tennessee), the visitor was told , “This Baptist church says, ‘there ain’t no hell’, and this other Baptist church says, ‘the hell there ain’t’.” JS Spong Rescuing the Bible from Fundamentalism pg 4

In the introduction, we (Michael R. Bott and Jonathan D. Sarfati) quoted a review which said that Spong "has the guts to tell it like it is." It would be more accurate to say that he is the populist who "has the cheek to tell it like it isn't." http://www.christian-apologetics.org/html/Whats_wrong_Spong.htm
