Publisher's Description
Newly ReissuedRenowned and beloved author Marcus J. Borg presents a renewed way of being Christian for the twenty-first century“A marvelous book that is both challenging and illuminating, and effecting exactly the kind of transformation that Borg describes so lucidly.”—Karen Armstrong“Bible scholar Marcus Borg offers a personal plea for what he hopes is an emerging approach to Christianity that breaks all ties with fundamentalism.... He describes a compassionate intellectual form of Christianity that he believes can emerge from a modern reinterpretation of sacred texts.”—Detroit Free Press

“Marcus Borg brings expert knowledge, insight, and warmth to this revisiting of Christianity’s heart and soul. He makes absolute sense.”
“This ambitious, substantive, and boldly political resource establishes the terms for a conversation that will no doubt continue for years…. [A] watershed work.”
“This book catches the eye because Borg argues that regardless of what is concluded about scripture, Christian ethics bind Christians to care foremost about those in need, yet contemporary American Christianity seems mainly to care about itself. ‘Taking the Kingdom of God seriously means taking the systemic causes of human suffering seriously,’ Borg concludes.”
“A winsome, accessible, pastoral offering ... Borg provides a way for an important, positive, and serious rethinking of the gospel.”
