Peter Gomes, Chaplain Harvard University

If Jesus came back and witnessed the church today, says Peter Gomes, chaplain of Harvard "he would weep."

The Harvard chaplain and author of many of books including The Scandalous Gospel of Jesus talked with On Faith's Sally Quinn about why he doesn't take the bible literally -and how those who do are drawing not on a traditional understanding of the text, but on an early 20th century notion.

»Watch Gomes discuss the scandal of the gospel, communism as Christianity and what he thinks conservatives miss about Jesus' message.
