The Meaning of Jesus by Marcus J Borg

The Meaning of Jesus by Marcus J Borg

Two leading Jesus scholars with widely divergent views present opposing visions of Jesus that shape our faith. Candid, spirited, and thoughtfully debated, this discourse looks at who Jesus was, what he taught, and what he did. It can stimulate fresh ideas and dialogue among those concerned with what it means to be a Christian.

"..Strongly argued and well-written." -- Biblical Archaeology Review

Marcus J. Borg (1942-2015) was a pioneering author and teacher whom the New York Times described as "a leading figure in his generation of Jesus scholars."
