The Heart Of Christianity

Rediscovering A Life Of Faith

BY MARCUS BORG
"[This book] provides a valuable glimpse into the essence of Christianity for those who have left the faith because they no longer believe its doctrines and those who are trying to remain in the faith while questioning its doctrines. With those people in mind, Borg emphasizes the transformational aspect of Christianity by examining the "emerging paradigm" that is gradually replacing the belief-centered paradigm of the last several hundred years. The new paradigm, Borg writes, is about loving God and loving what God loves, rather than rigidly adhering to a specific set of beliefs. . As always, Borg writes with clarity and precision, which should also help the ongoing conversation."-PW

This is Borg's major work on the historical Jesus, completely revising and expanding his earlier "Vision of Jesus."

Now this new version takes advantage of all the research and reflection that has gone on since the 80s. These revisions and expansions establish it as his large, but accessible and difinitive, work on Jesus.

The Last Week - Paperback

What The Gospels Really Teach About Jesus' Final Days In Jerusalem

BY MARCUS BORG AND JOHN DOMINIC CROSSAN
As both authors reacted to and responded to questions about Mel Gibson's blockbuster The Passion of the Christ, they discovered that many Christians are unclear on the details of events during the week leading up to Jesus's crucifixion. Using the gospel of Mark as their guide, Borg and Crossan present a day-by-day account of Jesus's final week of life. They begin their story on Palm Sunday with two triumphal entries into Jerusalem. The first entry, that of Roman governor Pontius Pilate leading Roman soldiers into the city, symbolized military strength. The second heralded a new kind of moral hero who was praised by the people as he rode in on a humble donkey.
