Overturning Common Christianity - interview with Marcus Borg
Excerpts from PW's interview with Marcus Borg about his book, --Convictions: How I Learned What Matters Most:
"American Christianity is deeply divided; the most visible division is between the Christian political right and the Christian left. For the right, morality tends to be about what I call "loin issues"—sexual morality—and polls have also shown that the more frequently people attend church, the more likely they are to be pro-war, pro-life, or to support gun rights. For me it's embarrassing that the most visible face of American Christianity is reprehensible. I've often said that the greatest obstacle to Christian evangelism is Christian evangelism itself."
"People who have read a half dozen or so of my books will likely learn very little that's new. All of this book will be surprising to people who know Christianity only at a popular level--I overturn so much of what I call common Christianity."
"Christianity is authentically about changing the world. God is real, and God's passion as revealed to us in Jesus is about the transformation of this world. If there's an afterlife, then it's a bonus. I do see myself as a Christian apologist. Christianity properly understood makes persuasive and compelling sense."
