Books like The Heart of Christianity by Marcus J. Borg


In this accessible guide, renowned Jesus scholar Marcus Borg explains how the essential elements of Christian faith—faith, being born again, the kingdom of God, and the gospel of love—remain vital for today’s world. He demonstrates that daily practices such as prayer, worship, Sabbath observance, and pilgrimage can nurture a genuine, life‑changing relationship with God and with others. Borg also revisits terms once reserved for evangelicals and fundamentalists, showing that concepts like "born again" and the "kingdom of God" have universal relevance and can inspire a society that values justice and love.

Tokens of trust by 9115055|Rowan Williams book cover

📘 Tokens of trust
 by Rowan Williams

"What does it mean to believe in God? Can God possibly be almighty in the midst of so much evil and disaster? How am I to understand the meaning of Jesus Christ's ministry and resurrection? To what purpose is the church called? And what does it really mean to follow Christ in today's broken world? Tying the answers to all these questions together and addressing perplexities such as the possibility of miracles and how to read the Bible, Williams demonstrates that each of the basic tenets of Christian faith flows from one fundamental belief that God is completely worthy of our trust."--Back cover.
