Description
Book SynopsisDistilled into a single volume, here is the essence of Marcus Borg: the world’s leading spokesman for progressive Christianity until his death in 2015, and one of the most widely respected and influential theologians of our time.
Trade ReviewWriting 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 *
Marcus Borg is a key force in the emerging ‘new paradigm’ of Christian faith. * Walter Brueggemann *
Profound, challenging, and engrossing. * Karen Armstrong *
