A thoughtful, well-researched historical portrait of Jesus as charismatic, healer, sage, and prophet--as spiritual, deeply political, and fully consistent with the gospel presentation.

Jesus, a New Vision: Spirit, Culture, and the Life of Discipleship

Marcus J. Borg

Harper&Row

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.

Reading the Bible Again for the First Time

[Read by John Pruden] An insightful meditation on Christianity in America by celebrated theologian, Marcus J. Borg. On the occasion of his seventieth birthday, the renowned Marcus J. Borg shares his convictions about Christianity and America, contending that they are both at their best when they focus on hope and transformation, and shares his thoughts on how American Christians can return to what matters most. Reflecting on what matters most, both for the church and for Americans, leading biblical scholar and premiere teacher for Protestant churches, Marcus Borg surveys the most significant conversations and personalities that shaped his life and presents his convictions about the faith and its role in the twenty-first century. Meditating on what makes us feel at home, he 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.

Who was Jesus? A cynic-like figure? A political activist? Professor Marcus Borg, a nationally known Jesus scholar, here offers an accessible guide through the growing maze of literature and research on Jesus. This state-of the art volume will be a welcome resource especially for libraries, research specialists and students.The book is divided into three parts. Part One deals with Jesus scholarship in the 1980s, focusing on the renaissance in Jesus studies during that period and summarizing the portraits of Jesus offered by North American scholars. Part Two examines issues in contemporary Jesus research, particularly questions related to the "eschatological Jesus" and the "politics of Jesus." Part Three looks at the potential of current research for helping rethink Jesus' identity and the implications for the modern reader and the church. Jesus in Contemporary Scholarship represents a "summing up" of current research and an illuminating and important contribution to the ongoing debate.Marcus J. Borg is Hundere Distinguished Professor of Religion and Culture at Oregon State University, a Fellow of the Jesus Seminar, and the author of the recently published Meeting Jesus Again for the First Time.
