The pre-EasterJesus -- Jesus, compassion, and politics -- Jesus and wisdom: teacher of alternate wisdom -- Jesus, the wisdom of God: Sophia become flesh -- Images of Jesus and images of the Christian life.\r\nAbstract:       Of the many recent books on the historical Jesus, none has explored what the latest biblical scholarship means for personal faith. Now, in Meeting Jesus Again for the First Time, Marcus Borg addresses the yearnings of those who want a fully contemporary faith that welcomes rather than oppresses our critical intelligence and openness to the best of historical scholarship. Borg shows how a rigorous examination of historical findings can lead to a new faith in Christ, one. That is critical and, at the same time, sustaining. Drawing on his own journey from a naive, unquestioning belief in Christ through collegiate skepticism to a mature and contemporary Christian faith, Borg illustrates how an understanding of the historical Jesus can actually lead to a more authentic Christian life - one not rooted in creeds or dogma, but in a life of spiritual challenge, compassion, and community. In straightforward, accessible prose, Borg looks at the. Major findings of modern Jesus scholarship from the perspective of faith, bringing alive the many levels of Jesus' character: spirit person, teacher of alternative wisdom, social prophet, and movement founder. He also reexamines the major stories of the Old Testament vital to an authentic understanding of Jesus, showing how an enriched understanding of these stories can uncover new truths and new pathways to faith. For questioning believers, doubters, and reluctant. Unbelievers alike, Meeting Jesus Again for the First Time frees our understanding of Jesus' life and message from popular misconceptions and outlines the way to a sound and contemporary faith: \"For ultimately, Jesus is not simply a figure of the past, but a figure of the present. Meeting that Jesus - the living one who comes to us even now - will be like meeting Jesus again for the first time.\"\r\nOther Notes: \tIncludes bibliographical references and index.\r\nRelated electronic resource:\tPublisher description http:\/\/catdir.loc.gov\/catdir\/description\/hc044\/93025390.html Publisher description\n\nPublished in: San Francisco\n\nPhysical description: ix, 150 pages ; 22 cm.","bookEdition":"1st ed.","offers":{"@type":"Offer","availability":"https:\/\/schema.org\/OutOfStock"}}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":8,"item":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@type":"Book","name":"Stories for the heart : over 100 stories to encourage your soul \/ compiled by Alice Gray.","author":"Gray, A.","isbn":"1576731278","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":null},"datePublished":null,"inLanguage":"English","description":"Compassion -- Encouragement -- Virtues -- Motivation -- Love -- Family -- Life -- Faith. \r\n \tAbstract\tA collection of timeless stories of compassion and encouragement.\n\nPhysical description: 288 p. ; 22 cm.","bookEdition":null,"offers":{"@type":"Offer","availability":"https:\/\/schema.org\/OutOfStock"}}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":9,"item":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@type":"Book","name":"The case for faith : a journalist investigates the toughest objections to Christianity \/ Lee Strobel.","author":"Strobel, L.","isbn":"0310235286","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"ZondervanPublishingHouse"},"datePublished":"2000","inLanguage":"English","description":"In this book, the author turns his skills to the most persistent emotional objections to belief -- the eight \"heart\" barriers to faith.
