Reading the Bible Again for the First Time
This is Marcus Borg's follow-up to Meeting Jesus Again for the First Time.
Like his earlier book, this one is written for lay people whose faith has been
frustrated by their misapprehension that fundamentalism's claim to be the one
true faith is valid.
Meeting Jesus Again for the First Time
"Meeting Jesus" took liberal Christians by storm, becoming one of the most popular books about
Jesus of the decade. Borg's intelligent and faithful rendition of who the Jesus was causes one,
in the words of the title, to meet Jesus again for the first time.
The God We Never Knew
Marcus Borg's companion, or sequel, to "Meeting Jesus" describes a vital faith in God consistent with modern scholarship and without the
"embarrassment" of fundamentalism.
Jesus and Buddha: The Parallel Sayings
The author of "Meeting Jesus Again for the First Time" uncovers the strange and unexplained parallels among Jesus' sermons and Buddha's sayings.
Frederick Buechner is One of My Favorite Writers
He is the source for much of our Christmas Eve Service,
and some of you may remember his daughter Catherine, who served as our student minister fifteen years ago or so.
Following are a couple of his covers and several of his titles. You may want to look at others once you are connected to Amazon.
There's a lot more!
