NEW BOOK by The Rev. John Bingham Rev. Bingham, who was on staff here at St. Paul's with Jack Sanford in the early 70's, has just published his second book. With the title God and Dreams: Is There a Connection? it discusses how today's religious writing often ignores dreams and their spiritual dimension and instead focuses on the biological and quantitative function of dreams. God and Dreams challenges the current orthodoxy of both religious and secular perspectives by arguing that dreams do indeed come from God.
