"This book could start a revolution. Borg cracks open the encrusted words of faith and pops them into fresh language that people can understand and trust. The last time this happened, we got the Reformation." --Anne Sutherland Howard, executive director of The Beatitudes Society In a revolutionary argument vital to every person of faith in the English-speaking world, 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 Church's words to once again ring with truth, power, and hope.
