About this product

Product Information

In Speaking Christian , acclaimed Bible scholar Marcus Borg, author of Meeting Jesus Again for the First Time , argues that the very language Christians use has become dangerously distilled, distorted, and disconnected from the beliefs which once underpinned it. Stating a case that will resonate with readers of N. T. Wright's Simply Christian , Borg calls for a radical change to the language we use to invoke our beliefs--the only remedy that will allow the Church's words to once again ring with truth, power, and hope.

Ranks with his earlier volumes as efforts to renew and rebuild Christianity by healing long-standing wounds and welcoming millions of alienated men and women., A primer to help correct misunderstandings and help those unfamiliar with Christian language become fluent. . . . An important figure on topics from the historical Jesus to religion and culture, he challenges Christians to live for God's justice in the world and not just focus on the next world., Speaking Christian correctly may seem like it's just a fuss over semantics, but it's ultimately about something bigger: defining Christianityâ€¦ When Christians forget what their words mean, they forget what their faith means., 'A primer to help correct misunderstandings and help those unfamiliar with Christian language become fluent. . . . An important figure on topics from the historical Jesus to religion and culture, he challenges Christians to live for God's justice in the world and not just focus on the next world.'

5 out of 5 stars
by markhrowlandFeb 15, 2017
Articulate, easy-read distillation of "just the facts, Ma'am!"
While arguably, Borg wrote elsewhere (and at greater length) on many of the topics, this is a great refresher, introduction, or "Cliff Notes" to his wonderfully rich and fulfilling way of looking at Christianity. Now, more than ever, we need this antidote to a more anachronistic version that doesn't work for so many, and enslaves so many others. Highly recommend reading several times!
