Growing numbers of Christians both inside and outside the organised church are unwilling to abandon the modern world of science and critical thinking in order to believe and are searching for an enlightened, modern way to understand their faith and the Bible. Borg offers them a bold new understanding of scripture that respects both tradition and reality. Covering all the essential texts of the Old and New Testaments, he demonstrates how such stories as Adam and Eve, the Gospel miracles, and even the Resurrection are not historical reports as much as vital teaching stories about our relationship with God and Jesus.

This groundbreaking book blends the best of biblical scholarship with profound concern for authentic Christian faith and how it can be lived today.

Marcus J. Borg is the bestselling author of The God We Never Knew and the Hundere Distinguished Professor of Religion at Oregon State University. He lives in Portland, Oregon.
