“He writes honestly and clearly, defining as he goes, always educating. He does not shy from laying out controversies among contemporary Christians [but] he closes with wonder.” - Publishers Weekly
One of those rare books . . . simply written [and] deep enough to inspire serious thought...Everyone would do well to pick it up, examine Dr. Borg’s personal convictions, and glean from a man with so much life experience and spiritual wisdom. - Clarion Journal of Spirituality and Justice
“All Christians and those interested in Christianity from a distance should read all his books.” - Thomas Moore, author of Care of the Soul
“Conveys an overall message that is both simple and urgently needed: Change is a good and natural part of Christian life.” - Read The Spirit
“An excellent introduction for general readers who stand outside the Christian tradition as well as those interested in considering how faith changes as they mature.” - Booklist
Both challenging and illuminating. - Karen Armstrong, author of A History of God
Writing with a simplicity that never becomes simplistic, Borg manages to convey the essence of Christianity in a way that does justice to those who do not share his views and will greatly enrich the understanding of those who do. - Frederick Buechner, author of Telling the Truth
Marcus Borg is a key force in the emerging “new paradigm” of Christian faith. - Walter Brueggemann, author of Sabbath as Resistance
“In every generation there are a handful of writers of whom it can be said, “Read everything they write.” Marcus Borg is one of these today.” - Walter Wink, author of The Human Being
Marcus J. Borg was born on March 11, 1942 in Minnesota. He majored in philosophy and political science at Concordia College.
