Marcus J. Borg, preeminent theologian and Bible scholar, reflects 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.
