Review:
From the Back Cover:
‘Writing clearly, summarixing some of the best of contemporary theology in non-technical language, Borg continues to speak to, and to challenge, the widest possible audience.’
Publishers Weekly
‘A breath of fresh air, a liberating book for Jews and Christians alike.’
Rabbi Harold Kushner, author of When Bad Things Happen to Good People
MEETING GOD AGAIN FOR THE FIRST TIME
Selected by 'Publishers Weekly' as one of the best books of 1997
In 'The God We Never Knew', bestselling author Marcus J. Borg leads us from the distant, authoritative God of our childhood to an equally powerful, dynamic adult understanding of God. Tracing his own spiritual journey, he reveals how to embrace a fresh, authentic view of God that is fully compatible with good science, critical thinking, and religious pluralism–a view that promotes a much healthier and more vital life of faith today.
Marcus J. Borg is Hundere Distinguished Professor of Religion and Culture at Oregon State University and author of many books, including 'Jesus: A New Vision'and 'Meeting Jesus for the First Time'
'"The God We Never Knew' will appeal to unbelieving and fainthearted believers, but it also has riches for those who think their faith is secure."
ROBERT N. BELLAH, author of 'Harbits of the Heart'
Writing clearly, summarizing some of the best of contemporary theology in nontechnical language, Borg continues to speak to, and challenge, the widest possible audience."
Publishers Weekly
Borg does what few scholars on religion seem capable if doing: He has digested an immense amount of difficult, often conflicting religious ideas and written a clear, coherent, and highly readable theological work that satisfies mind and soul."
