Evolution of the Word: Reading the New Testament in the Order It Was Written by Marcus J Borg

By presenting the New Testament books in the order they were written, bestselling Bible scholar Marcus Borg reveals how spiritually and politically radical the early Jesus movement began and how it slowly became domesticated. Evolution of the Word is an incredible value: not only are readers getting a deeply insightful new book from the author of Speaking Christian and Jesus, but also the full-text of the New Testament--and one of the only Bibles organized in chronological order and including explanatory annotations that give readers a more informed understanding of the Scripture that is so close to their hearts and lives.

Borg (1942-2015) was an emeritus Hundere Distinguished Professor of Religion and Culture at Oregon State University and a canon theologian at Trinity Episcopal Cathedral in Portland, Oregon. He was a Fellow of the Jesus Seminar and the author of the bestseller books Meeting Jesus Again for the First Time, The Heart of Christianity, Reading the Bible Again for the First Time, The God We Never Knew, Jesus, and Speaking Christian. He was also the national chair of the Society of Biblical Literature's Historical Jesus section.
