About the Book


Leading bible scholar Marcus Borg takes us on an incredible journey to discover who Jesus was, what he taught, and why he still matters today. In this definitive book, Borg argues that how we see Jesus affects how we see Christianity and reveals a new way of seeing—a new perspective that can over come the differences between the literalists and progressives, a path that emphasizes following “the way” of Jesus, the original name of the Jesus movement.

Borg introduces us to a Jesus we have never really met before, a religious revolutionary who brought transformation, not doctrine. Jesus remains the decisive revelation of God, but we no encounter him as both a reality and a role model centered in God, focused on both personal and political transformation, emphasizing practices rather than beliefs, and exemplifying a faith characterized by deep commitment and gentle certitude.



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

    A Thrilling But Totally Believable Murder Mystery

    Read this in one evening. I had planned to do other things with my day, but it was impossible to put down. Every time I tried, I was drawn back to it in less than 5 minutes. I sobbed my eyes out the entire last 100 pages. Highly recommend!
