About the Book

From top Jesus expert Marcus Borg, a completely updated and revised version of his vision of Jesus--as charismatic healer, sage, and prophet, a man living in the power of the spirit and dedicated to radical social change. Fully revised and updated, this is Borg's major book on the historial Jesus. He shows how the Gospel portraits of Jesus, historically seen, make sense. Borg takes into account all the recent developments in historical Jesus scholarship, as well as new theories on who Jesus was and how the Gospels reflect that. The original version of this book was published well before popular fascination with the historical Jesus. Now this new version takes advantage of all the research that has gone on since the 80s. The revisions establish it as Borg's big but popular book on Jesus.

About the Author :
Marcus J. Borg (1942-2015) was a pioneering author and teacher whom the New York Times described as "a leading figure in his generation of Jesus scholars." He was the Hundere Distinguished Professor of Religion and Culture at Oregon State University and canon theologian at Trinity Episcopal Cathedral in Portland, and he appeared on NBC's The Today Show and Dateline, ABC's World News, and NPR's Fresh Air. His books have sold over a million copies, including the bestselling Meeting Jesus Again for the First Time, Reading the Bible Again for the First Time, Jesus, The Heart of Christianity, Evolution of the Word, Speaking Christian, and Convictions.

Review :
"Writing with a simplicity that never becomes simplistic, Borg manages to convey the essence of Christianity in a way that does justice to those who do not share his views and will greatly enrich the understanding of those who do." - Frederick Buechner, author of Secrets in the Dark "What would we do without Marcus Borg? If he did not exist, we would have to invent him for we have no better guide to the recovery of an authentic Christian faith for these difficult times than this articulate and prolific public theologian." - Peter J. Gomes, author of The Good Book "Those of us who love Christianity know that it always benefits from a fresh imagination. Marcus Borg brings expert knowledge, insight, and warmth to this re-visiting of Christianity's heart and soul. All Christians and those interested in Christianity from a distance should read all his books." - Thomas Moore, author of Care of the Soul and The Soul's Religion "With great clarity and pastoral genius, Marcus Borg offers questioning Christians a way to keep the faith without shutting down the search for truth." - Barbara Brown Taylor, author of Leaving Church "Marcus Borg is a key force in the emerging 'new paradigm' of Christian faith." - Walter Brueggemann, professor of Old Testament, Columbia Theological Seminary "Borg Liberates 'Jesus' from the rigidity of fundamentalism and the aridity of intellectualism. He also graciously liberates readers from the shackles of what many have thought they were supposed to believe about Jesus if they were to remain Christians." - Alan Jones, dean, Grace Cathedral, author of Common Prayer on Common Ground "In every generation there is a handful of writers of whom it can be said, 'Read everything they write.' Marcus Borg is one of these today." - Walter Wink, author of The Human Being "Borg pours a lifetime of scholarship into this provocative overview of Jesus's life." - Detriot Free Press
