JESUS a new vision: Spirit, Culture, and the life of discipleship

Marcus J. Borg

SPCK.

Los destacados especialistas en Jesús, Marcus J. Borg y John Dominic Crossan, se unen para revelarnos un Jesús radicalmente nuevo y poco conocido. Cuando ambos autores reaccionaron y respondieron preguntas sobre el exitoso filme de Mel Gibson, La Pasión de Jesucristo, descubrieron que muchos cristianos no tienen claro los detalles de los acontecimientos de la semana que condujo a Jesús a su muerte en la cruz. Usando el evangelio de Marcos como guía, Borg y Crossan presentan un relato día a día de la última semana de vida de Jesús. Comienzan su historia el Domingo de Ramos con dos entradas triunfales a Jerusalén. La primera entrada, la del gobernador romano Poncio Pilatos que conduce soldados romanos dentro de la ciudad, simboliza la fuerza militar. La segunda anuncia un nuevo tipo de héroe moral que es alabado por la gente mientras va montado sobre un humilde burro. El Jesús presentado por Borg y Crossan es este nuevo héroe moral, un Jesús más peligroso que el consagrado en las enseñanzas tradicionales de la iglesia. La Última Semana pinta a un Jesús que renuncia a su vida para protestar contra el poder sin justicia y para condenar al rico a quien no le importa el pobre. Comprometido con esto, al término de la semana Jesús marcha hacia el Calvario, ofreciéndose como modelo para que otros hagan lo mismo cuando se enfrenten a cuestiones similares. Informados, desafiados e inspirados no sólo nos encontramos con el Jesús histórico, sino también con un nuevo Jesús que nos compromete y nos invita a seguirlo.

Was Jesus born of a virgin? Did he know he was the Messiah? Was he bodily resurrected from the dead? Did he intentionally die to redeem humankind? Was Jesus God? Two leading Jesus scholars with widely divergent views go right to the heart of these questions and others, presenting the opposing visions of Jesus that shape our faith today.

From top Jesus expert Marcus Borg, a completely updated and revised version of his vision of Jesus—as charismatic healer, sage, and prophet, a man living in the power of the spirit and dedicated to radical social change. 
Fully revised and updated, this is Borg's major book on the historial Jesus. He shows how the Gospel portraits of Jesus, historically seen, make sense. Borg takes into account all the recent developments in historical Jesus scholarship, as well as new theories on who Jesus was and how the Gospels reflect that. 
The original version of this book was published well before popular fascination with the historical Jesus. Now this new version takes advantage of all the research that has gone on since the 80s. The revisions establish it as Borg's big but popular book on Jesus.

What was the last week of Jesus's life about? And what does it mean for us now? Two of today's leading experts on Jesus, Marcus J. Borg and John Dominic Crossan, offer what they believe is the real story of Jesus's final week in Jerusalem. Using the Gospel of Mark as their guide, they present a day-by-day account of Holy Week - the most sacred time of the Christian year. The Last Week reveals a radical and little-known Jesus who gave up his life to protest against power without justice and to condemn the oppression of the poor by the rich. Indeed, the Jesus uncovered here is far more dangerous than the one enshrined in the church's traditional teachings. In The Last Week we do not simply meet the Jesus of history but a passionate and engaging Jesus who invites us to follow him today.

The Last Week - What the Gospels Really Teach About Jesus's Final Days in Jerusalem

'Many know Marcus Borg as a brilliant scholar, which he is. But he has a pastoral side as well. I've stood with Marcus after his lectures and watched as person after person comes up to say, I lost my faith, but your books have helped me get it back,A" or I wouldn't be in the church today if I hadn't come across your books,A" or Your work has helped me stay a Christian.A" In this highly readable book on Mark, you'll experience that pastoral side as he brings his scholarship to the aid of Christians and seekers alike. If you want to get to the heart of Jesus' message and the way of life into which that message invites us, you'll find help here.' Brian McLaren, author/activist.

Marcus Borg takes some of the key words in the Christian dictionary and exposes the negative and unhelpful connotations they still carry today. At the same time, he goes back to the Bible and unpacks their meaning in a way that is both more faithful to the teaching of Jesus and more relevant to his followers today.
