From reader Pacific231:
“Borg’s “Meeting Jesus Again for the First Time” is essential reading. I could totally relate to his personal religious conundrum and found his book extremely helpful.”

From reader Rebecca T:
“I’m not a fan of Borg myself. It’s not that I think he’s horrible or digging his own pit in hell or anything, but I really need much more to hang my hat on that what is basically one man’s reasoning. There’s just nothing at all in the bible or accounts from that time to support the idea that the apostles believed anything less than that they had physically met the risen Jesus. I mean, if all they meant was that Jesus was alive in their hearts, why in the world would they have gone to their deaths proclaiming a physical resurrection?”
