BORG, MARCUS

The complete text of this lost Gospel--which is older than the four traditional Gospels and based on sayings in Aramaic--contains the original words, teachings, and ideas spoken by Jesus.

The subtitle for this book sums it up nicely "Taking the Bible Seriously by Not Literally." The publisher refers to it as "A thinking person's guide to the Bible."

Marcus Borg addresses the yearnings of those who want a fully contemporary faith that welcomes rather than oppresses our critical intelligence.

A concise and illuminating introduction to Marcus J. Borg, the late spokesman for progressive Christianity and one of the most revered and influential theologians of our time.
