About this title

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
