Marcus Borg Quotes

The Christian life is not about pleasing God the finger-shaker and judge. It is not about believing now or being good now for the sake of heaven later. It is about entering a relationship in the present that begins to change everything now. Spirituality is about this process: the opening of the heart to the God who is already here Picture Quote #1
The point is not that Jesus was a good guy who accepted everybody, and thus we should do the same (though that would be good). Rather, his teachings and behaviour reflect an alternative social vision. Jesus was not talking about how to be good and how to behave within the framework of a domination system. He was a critic of the domination system itself Picture Quote #1
Christianity’s goal is not escape from this world. It loves this world and seeks to change it for the better Picture Quote #1
Reality is permeated, indeed flooded, with divine creativity, nourishment, and care Picture Quote #1
Christianity’s goal is not escape from this world. It loves this world and seeks to change it for the better Picture Quote #1
When tradition is thought to state the way things really are, it becomes the director and judge of our lives; we are, in effect, imprisoned by it. On the other hand, tradition can be understood as a pointer to that which is beyond tradition: the sacred. Then it functions not as a prison but as a lens Picture Quote #1

God’s dream for us is not simply peace of mind, but peace on earth Picture Quote #1
Imagine that it’s not about the self and its concerns, about ‘what’s in it for me,’ whether that be a blessed afterlife or prosperity in this life Picture Quote #1
Reading is not just about learning to recognize and pronounce words, but also about how to hear and understand them... It is wise to remember that when we are reading letters never intended for us, any problems of understanding are ours and not theirs Picture Quote #1
