Convictions

Marcus J. Borg, preeminent theologian and Bible scholar, refects 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. With each chapter embodying a distinct conviction, Borg writes provocatively and compellingly on the beliefs that can deeply ground us and guide us:

• 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

• To Love God Is to Love Like God

Rich in wisdom and insight, Convictions is sure to become a classic of contemporary Christianity.
