I just finished reading the book “Jesus: Uncovering the Life, Teachings, and Relevance of a Religious Revolutionary” by Marcus Borg. If you lean toward progressive Christianity, then I highly recommend Borg. I’ve never been disappointed by one of his books and this one is no exception. I did find it somewhat repetitive with “The Last Week” which Borg co-wrote with John Dominic Crossan, but this is not surprising. After all, you can’t talk about Jesus without talking about what the death and resurrection stories mean. I don’t always agree with 100% of what Borg says, but it’s pretty close. His ideas are refreshing and hopeful. He’s also a professor and not a preacher and I like that perspective.
