The Heart of Christianity
The Heart of Christianity | Marcus J. Borg
3 posts | 2 read | 1 reading | 3 to read
World-renowned Jesus scholar Marcus J. Borg shows how we can live passionately as Christians in today's world by practicing the vital elements of Christian faith. For the millions of people who have turned away from many traditional beliefs about God, Jesus, and the Bible, but still long for a relevant, nourishing faith, Borg shows why the Christian life can remain a transforming relationship with God. Emphasizing the critical role of daily practice in living the Christian life, he explores how prayer, worship, Sabbath, pilgrimage, and more can be experienced as authentically life-giving practices. Borg reclaims terms and ideas once thought to be the sole province of evangelicals and fundamentalists: he shows that terms such as "born again" have real meaning for all Christians; that the "Kingdom of God" is not a bulwark against secularism but is a means of transforming society into a world that values justice and love; and that the Christian life is essentially about opening one's heart to God and to others.

#photoadaynov16 #headlesscovers
And all Christian non-fiction 🤔 I've seen so many Christian non-fiction covers with close ups of hands. 👐

The other two books in the photo are Uninvited by Lysa Terkeurst and Out of the House of Bread by Preston Yancey.

LauraBeth 😀 they like to show hands and feet 😀 8y
Laura317 I suppose because Christians are to be "the hands and feet" of Christ - lots of authors put them on their covers. ? 8y
underthebelljar @Laura317 Ah yes that makes sense ☺️ 8y

#photoadaynov16 #inspiring
The Heart of Christianity and Living Buddha, Living Christ both inspired me and renewed my faith in different seasons of my life. But of course reading the Bible inspires me the most.

Required reading for my (required) theology class. The two chapters I've had to read so far are interesting
