Embracing an Adult Faith Marcus Borg on What it Means to Be Christian Marcus Borg with Tim Scorer
This study surveys 2000 years of Western history, identifying the great upheavals that occur in Western culture and Christianity every 500 years. The last was the Great Reformation of the 1500’s. The next is happening now. What are the implications (both culturally and spiritually)? What are the key questions and issues? And, perhaps most importantly, where are you, at this moment? Might you be an emergence Christian?
