Riassunto

In Speaking Christian, acclaimed Bible scholar Marcus Borg, author ofMeeting Jesus Again for the First Time, argues that the very language Christians use has become dangerously distilled, distorted, and disconnected from the beliefs which once underpinned it.

Stating a case that will resonate with readers of N. T. Wright’s Simply Christian, Borg calls for a radical change to the language we use to invoke our beliefs—the only remedy that will allow the Church's words to once again ring with truth, power, and hope.

Su questo libro

Recensione:

This book could start a revolution. Borg cracks open the encrusted words of faith and pops them into fresh language that people can understand and trust. The last time this happened, we got the Reformation. --Anne Sutherland Howard, Executive Director of The Beatitudes Society

Speaking Christian correctly may seem like it s just a fuss over semantics, but it s ultimately about something bigger: defining Christianity... When Christians forget what their words mean, they forget what their faith means. --Cnn
