The Meaning of Jesus
Was Jesus born of a virgin? Did he know he was the Messiah? Was he bodily resurrected from the dead? Did he intentionally die to redeem humankind? Was Jesus God? Two leading Jesus scholars with widely divergent views go right to the heart of these questions and others, presenting the opposing visions of Jesus that shape our faith today.
Seeing the Word
This important study considers the divided and contentious state of contemporary New Testament studies, arguing that the interpretation of Scripture must take place within the context of the church and Christian theology.
Conflict, Holiness, and Politics in the Teachings of Jesus
Originally published in 1984, this extraordinary work has until now been available only in an expensive library edition. The present edition has been completely updated and redesigned, and includes an extended new introduction by Marcus Borg that relates the book's central arguments to subsequent Jesus scholarship. A foreword by N.T. Wright characterizes the book as one of the foundational works in the "third quest" for the historical Jesus. In the book, Marcus Borg argues that conflict between a politics of holiness and a politics of compassion, and their implications for Israel, resides at the center of Jesus' activity and teaching. He emphasizes several features that have since become central to Jesus scholarship: the importance of Jesus' inclusive meal practice, a non-apocalyptic paradigm for understanding Jesus, and Jesus as a social prophet and boundary-breaker. Marcus J. Borg is Hundere Distinguished Professor of Religion and Culture in the Philosophy Department at Oregon State University. He is the author of nine books, including Jesus in Contemporary Scholarship, also published by Trinity Press.

The use and function of genea in the Gospel of Mark: New Light on Mk 13:30
Inmitten des apokalyptischen 13. Kapitels des Markusevangeliums findet sich die Aussage Jesu, dass "diese genea nicht vergehen wird, bis alle diese Dinge geschehen sind" (Mk 13,30). Dabei war die Bedeutung des Schlüsselbegriffs genea in der exegetischen Forschung umstritten. Diese Studie kommt nach philologischen und exegetischen Untersuchungen zu dem Schluss, dass der Autor des Evangeliums den genea-Begriff an mehreren Stellen als Terminus für bestimmte Gegner Jesu entwickelt. Damit wird dieser Terminus bewusst vom Autor an mehreren Stellen eingesetzt, um den zentralen Aspekt der "Nachfolge" innerhalb des Evangeliums zu stärken.
Speaking Christian
As with French, German or Spanish, learning the basic vocabulary of Christianity is a vital first step in understanding what it means and how it works. We think of words like 'faith', 'forgiveness', 'salvation', 'sin' and 'heaven'. But how can we be sure that we understand them correctly? Over the centuries all sorts of different meanings have grown up around these words, and sometimes those meanings can obscure or distort the way the words were originally used in the Bible. In Speaking Christian, Marcus Borg takes some of the key words in the Christian dictionary and exposes the negative and unhelpful connotations they still carry today. At the same time, he goes back to the Bible and unpacks their meaning in a way that is both more faithful to the teaching of Jesus and more relevant to his followers today.
Jesus: A New Vision
This thought-provoking text presents a full and historical portrait of Jesus as a charismatic, spiritual and deeply political prophet and healer. What emerges is a man living in the power of the spirit, a man who sought the transformation of his social world.
