The Heart of Christianity by Marcus J Borg
Marcus J. Borg reveals that, when properly understood, the vital elements of Christian faith are more compelling than ever. Borg offers a practical guide to thinking about God, Jesus, the Bible, faith, and Christian practice. He shows how faith in God and Jesus has never really been about believing certain propositions but rather about a dynamic relationship. He shows that being "born again" is at the center of Christian life; that the "kingdom of God" is a matter of transforming society into real world values of justice and love; and that the Christian life is essentially about opening one's heart--to God and to others.
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.
