Description

โ€œImagine that Christianity is about loving God. Imagine that itโ€™s not about the self and its concerns, about โ€˜whatโ€™s in it for me,โ€™ whether that be a blessed afterlife or prosperity in this life. Imagine that loving God is about being attentive to the one in whom we live and move and have our being. Imagine that it is about becoming more and more deeply centered in God. Imagine that it is about loving what God loves. How would that change our lives?โ€โ€”from Convictions

Marcus J. Borg, preeminent theologian and Bible scholar, reflects on his life and how he developed his most bedrock convictionsโ€”and why they matter. The result is a manifesto for all progressive Christians who seek the best path for following Jesus today.

A Manifesto for Progressive Christians

โ€œConveys an overall message that is both simple and urgently needed: Change is a good and natural part of Christian life.โ€โ€”Read the Spirit

โ€œIn every generation there are a handful of writers of whom it can be said, โ€˜Read everything they write.โ€™ Marcus Borg is one of these today.โ€โ€”Walter Wink, author ofThe Human Being

โ€œAn excellent introduction for general readers who stand outside the Christian tradition as well as those interested in considering how faith changes as they mature.โ€โ€”Booklist

โ€œMarcus Borg is a key force in the emerging โ€˜new paradigmโ€™ of Christian faith.โ€โ€”Walter Brueggemann, author ofSabbath as Resistance

โ€œOne of those rare books . . . simply written [and] deep enough to inspire serious thought.โ€โ€”Clarion Journal of Spirituality and Justice

โ€œHe writes honestly and clearly, defining as he goes, always educating. He does not shy from laying out controversies among contemporary Christians [but] he closes with wonder.โ€โ€”Publishers Weekly
