Fully revised and updated, this is Borg's major book on the historial Jesus. He shows how the Gospel portraits of Jesus, historically seen, make sense. Borg takes into account all the recent developments in historical Jesus scholarship, as well as new theories on who Jesus was and how the Gospels reflect that. The original version of this book was published well before popular fascination with the historical Jesus. Now this new version takes advantage of all the research that has gone on since the 80s. The revisions establish it as Borg's big but popular book on Jesus. Customer Reviews Average Rating: Rating: - Creative Jesus: Uncovering the Life, Teachings, and Relevance of a Religious Revolutionary by Marcus J. Borg. This book addresses all the different aspects of Jesus' life and the Bible. It includes His birth to resurrection. Borg, like other authors of Jesus books, puts in what he likes and takes out what he doesn't like. As I said before, Jesus wants everyone to spread His word. Some writers take more liberties than others. There is another beautiful new book on Jesus entitled "The Enlightenment, What ... Read More Rating: - A lifetime labor of love Borg's tone and presentation speaks to scholars and laypeople at the same time. He patiently explores all segments of the Gospel accounts, turning them around like gem stones to expose various angles of meaning. His approach highlights the challenging questions raised by Jesus' words. What, for example, are the implications of giving to God what belongs to God, and to Caesar what is Caesar's? What do we say belongs to God? Everything? And what belongs to Caesar? Does anything? In all the ... Read More Rating: - breath of fresh air in Christian Theology In the book, "Jesus: Uncovering the Life, Teachings, and Relevance of a Religious Revolutionary",Marcus Borg explains what the situation, times and daily life was like when Jesus lived. He then goes into the experience of God and Jesus' teachings regarding that knowledge. I believe that the book helps modern Christians and non-Christians alike to gain a more full understanding of the message of Christ, going to the heart and spiritual dynamic that was intended to show people the true inward path ... Read More Rating: - Um, what? I may not be the sharpest knife in the drawer, but this book left me flat and somewhat agitated. I couldn't wait to be finished with it. Long winded diatribes, strange presumptions, crazy metaphors, when there was a point to make it took half a chapter to do it, other wise it kind of ambled along begging for somewhere to go. I'm not trying to be unkind, but I still have no clue what this book was about. I had to select 1 star, but I really mean zero stars. Rating: - Jesus - with modern research This book is written for people who are not specialists in theology. It introduces readers to up to date knowledge on the gospels. It is well written - not at all "heavy". He talks of two paradigms - two very different ways of seeing Jesus. One is the traditional way of taking the gospel accounts as historically authentic narratives: the other sees Jesus in the light of modern knowledge of biblical literary and historical criticism, of the natural and human sciences, and differentiates between the metaphorical ...
