Marcus Borg is one of the world’s bestselling popular theologians whose books have sold over a million copies in English alone.
Here he sets out his deepest convictions about God, Jesus and the Bible, and reveals how a series of mystical experiences helped to make him a world champion of progressive, inclusive and politically engaged Christianity.
Each chapter in this powerful book is shot through with moving stories of his intellectual and spiritual journey – from the poverty of his fundamentalist childhood, when his family lived in a trailer park, through the doubts and uncertainties of his teenage years and on to the dramatic and unexpected religious experiences of his later life, as he pursued his career as a biblical scholar of increasing international distinction.
