Sinopsis de SPEAKING CHRISTIAN

In Speaking Christian, acclaimed Bible scholar Marcus Borg, author of Meeting Jesus Again for the First Time, argues that the very language Christians use has become dangerously distilled, distorted, and disconnected from the beliefs which once underpinned it.

Stating a case that will resonate with readers of N. T. Wright’s Simply Christian, Borg calls for a radical change to the language we use to invoke our beliefs—the only remedy that will allow the Churchs words to once again ring with truth, power, and hope.


But how can modern believers rediscover the ancient power of words like ‘salvation,’ ‘sin,’ and ‘born again’ without resorting to rigid literalism?


Beyond Literalism: Discover why modern, literal interpretations have become an intellectual stumbling block and how they distort the Bible’s original message. A Historical-Metaphorical Approach: Learn to read scripture in its ancient context, unlocking the rich, metaphorical meanings that bring familiar stories and concepts back to life. Reclaiming Christian Language: Journey through the original meanings of foundational words like ‘salvation,’ ‘righteousness,’ and ‘born again,’ transforming them from obstacles into sources of power. Faith for the 21st Century: Find an intellectually honest and spiritually vibrant path forward, one that allows Christian language to once again be a vehicle for grace and hope.
