Review
It is impossible to read this beautifully written book and remain unenlightened by the results of Jesus research... --Elizabeth A. Johnson, author of She Who Is
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: a writer of rare lucidity, original scholarly insights, profound spirituality, and the universal capacity to connect it all to life in the present. He just might change your mind--or life. --Walter Wink, Auburn Theological Seminary
Borg has done a great service for all of us in drawing upon contemporary research to present a fresh and imaginative picture of Jesus that has profound implications for our contemporary faith. --Praying
Synopsis
Marcus J. Borg, a leading scholar, takes a look at how current historical research on Jesus, far from being destructive, can enrich an authentic contemporary faith. He illustrates how a rigorous examination of historical findings can lead to a critical yet sustaining faith in the living Jesus Christ. Drawing on his own struggles to reconcile scholarship with belief, Borg offers a map for all who seek both to know Jesus better as an historical figure and to follow his teachings in their lives.
