MARCUS BORG CHRISTIAN? »

If you think the following from Living Spiritual Teacher and “Progessive Christian” scholar Marcus Borg is even remotely a Christian testimony, then you’d better think again:

SELECTIVE EDITING OF TEXTS FROM “THE SACRED” »

Well now, it sure looks as if we’ve discovered that the Progressive Christians of the Jesus Seminar and the new reformation of Emergence Christianity are not the only ones who are selectively and subjectively dealing the text of Scripture.

MARCUS BORG: “NON-EXCLUSIVE” AND “PROGRESSIVE CHRISTIAN” »

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