Here Borg updates his work introducing us to a Jesus we have never met before. In many ways Borg's Jesus is more revolutionary and possesses a more exciting moral vision than the church's traditional view. Here we meet Jesus as sage and prophet courageously and surprisingly confronting the social crises of his day. After a lifetime of work and study, Borg also discovers a Jesus that can continue to inspire, inform and guide those who have moved beyond archaic doctrines. Borg argues that there is a movement in the church today that is catching up with where scholarship has brought us in understanding Christian origins. Here readers will find an historically accurate Jesus, but one who is still worth following.</P> 2871553 2006 Jesus: Uncovering the Life, Teachings, and Relevance of a Religious Revolutionary total:86|5:31|4:42|3:12|2:0|1:1| 86 360 139 22 3 4 false false Wed Aug 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Fri Aug 24 12:11:17 -0700 2007 Mon Sep 03 09:36:51 -0700 2007 more...]]> 5 1 false false Mon Jan 28 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Thu Jan 24 16:44:19 -0800 2008 Mon Jan 28 21:05:36 -0800 2008 In previous books, Marcus Borg has stated the importance of placing Jesus within his historical framework, and has emphasized the distinction between pre- and post-Easter conceptions of Jesus.
