Writing with a simplicity that never becomes simplistic, Borg manages to convey the essence of Christianity in a way that does justice to those who do not share his views and will greatly enrich the understanding of those who do. -Frederick Buechner, author of Secrets in the Dark

What would we do without Marcus Borg? If he did not exist, we would have to invent him for we have no better guide to the recovery of an authentic Christian faith for these difficult times than this articulate and prolific public theologian. -Peter J. Gomes, author of The Good Book

Those of us who love Christianity know that it always benefits from a fresh imagination. Marcus Borg brings expert knowledge, insight, and warmth to this re-visiting of Christianitys heart and soul. All Christians and those interested in Christianity from a distance should read all his books. -Thomas
