Convictions: How I Learned What Matters Most
De (autor) Marcus J. Borgen Limba Engleză Hardback – 20 May 2014
With each chapter embodying a distinct conviction, Borg writes provocatively and compellingly on the beliefs that can deeply ground us and guide us, such as: God is real and a mystery; salvation is more about this life than an afterlife; the Bible can be true without being literally true; Jesus's death on the cross matters—but not because he paid for our sins; God is passionate about justice and the poor; and to love God is to love like God.
Borg calls all American Christians to reject divisiveness and exclusivity and create communities that celebrate joy, possibility, and renewal. Throughout, he reflects on what matters most, bringing to earth the kingdom of God Jesus talked about and transforming our relationships with one another. Rich in wisdom and insight, Convictions is sure to become a classic of contemporary Christianity.

“Imagine
that
Christianity
is
about
loving
God.
Imagine
that
it’s
not
about
the
self
and
its
concerns,
about
‘what’s
in
it
for
me,’
whether
that
be
a
blessed
afterlife
or
prosperity
in
this
life.
Imagine
that
loving
God
is
about
being
attentive
to
the
one
in
whom
we
live
and
move
and
have
our
being.
Imagine
that
it
is
about
becoming
more
and
more
deeply
centered
in
God.
Imagine
that
it
is
about
loving
what
God
loves.
How
would
that
change
our
lives?”—from
Convictions
Marcus J. Borg, preeminent theologian and Bible scholar, reflects on his life and how he developed his most bedrock convictions—and why they matter. The result is a manifesto for all progressive Christians who seek the best path for following Jesus today.
A Manifesto for Progressive Christians
“Conveys an overall message that is both simple and urgently needed: Change is a good and natural part of Christian life.”—Read the Spirit
“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
“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
“Marcus Borg is a key force in the emerging ‘new paradigm’ of Christian faith.”—Walter Brueggemann, author of Sabbath as Resistance
“One of those rare books . . . simply written [and] deep enough to inspire serious thought.”—Clarion Journal of Spirituality and Justice
“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

Recenzii
Marcus
Borg
is
a
key
force
in
the
emerging
“new
paradigm”
of
Christian
faith.
Both challenging and illuminating.
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.
“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.”
“All Christians and those interested in Christianity from a distance should read all his books.”

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.
