Marcus J. Borg

Taking the Bible Seriously but Not Literally





Many Christians mistakenly believe that their only choice is either to reconcile themselves to a fundamentalist reading of scripture (a "literal-factual" approach) or to simply reject the Bible as something that could bring meaning and value into their lives. In Reading the Bible Again for the First Time, Marcus Borg shows how instead we can freshly appreciate all the essential elements of the Old and New Testaments--from Genesis to Revelation--in a way that can open up a new world of intelligent faith.

In Reading the Bible Again for the First Time, Borg reveals how it is possible to reconcile a scientific and critical way of thinking with our deepest spiritual needs, leading to an insightful experience of ancient text. This unique book invites every reader--whatever his or her religious background--to engage the Bible, to wrestle with its meaning, to explore its mysteries, and to understand its relevance. Reading the Bible Again for the First Time shows us how to encounter the Bible in a fresh, new way that rejects the limits of simple literalism and opens up the rich possibility of living a life of authentic faith.

A Novel

#1 New York Times bestselling author Iris Johansen and Edgar Award--winning author Roy Johansen are back with Look Behind You, a novel featuring Kendra Michaels—hired gun for both the CIA and FBI. THE KILLER IS IN HER SIGHTS...AND ON HER TRAIL A serial killer is on the loose in San Diego. With each murder, random and mystifying objects are left behind. In this confusing array of evidence, only one thing is clear: each case requires the skills of Kendra Michaels, a hired gun for the CIA and FBI. Kendra, who was blind for most of her life before a revolutionary surgical procedure gave her sight, uses her acute powers of observation to solve some of the country’s most complex crimes. And this one is no exception. When the FBI discovers that the left-behind objects are souvenirs of previous unsolved serial murder cases, Kendra is called in to help. The latest crimes feature “holdback” characteristics never disclosed to the public—meaning that one single killer was behind the nation’s most notorious unsolved cases. . .and is back to challenge and taunt Kendra. As the body count rises, and a “dream team” of profilers becomes the newest target, it’s up to Kendra to defeat a psychopath whose terrifying plan has been years in the making.
