"Typically people treat the bible in a black or white manner: it is either inerrant word of God to be taken literally in every way... or it is simply a worthless fiction. I appreciated that Borg argues for a new way - valuing the bible for what it is... the recording of people's experiences with God, a human product that somehow conveys some amazing things. I can certainly understand how those who take a literalist position would easily be offended by Borg's work."
"This is a book I will return to many times. Two blurbs on the cover say it all: taking the Bible seriously but not literally and a thinking person's guide to the Bible. For me, this expanded my thinking and understanding of the Bible beyond Sunday School. It helped the Bible make sense to me in a new way. I like the intellectual excercise as it supports faith."
