Marcus Borg tells us in Jesus And Buddha: The Parallel Sayings of which he is editor:

At Apprising Ministries you will likely hear me talking more about the new spirituality which has now slithered its way deep into postevangelicalism from its den in the Emerging Church. The fact is this neopagan Gnostic spirituality is most pointedly on display in the misguided mysticism of the Emergent Church with its reimagined postliberal theology. [...]

Phil Haslanger informs us in The Captital Times that so-called Progressive Christian and scholar Marcus Borg:

In this excerpt from Reading The Bible Again for the First Time by Marcus Borg the non-exclusivist and progressive Christian teaches that the allegedly enlightened Buddha was born “from above” and “of the Spirit”—in other words, [he was] “born again.”
