Inside Out Session 2

Week 2 and the discussion deepens as we continue to follow Marcus Borg's book, "Speaking Christian." If you are following along, we covered chapters 5 through 10.

Here's a question to ponder: If Jesus is the decisive revelation of the character and passion of God, as his followers have affirmed from the beginning, what does his life say about God?

Inside Out - Book Discussion

Welcome to the Inside Out. Our discussion group met for the first time last evening and we will gather for the next 4 Thursday evenings to discuss Marcus Borg's latest book, "Speaking Christian." This blog is an opportunity to extend the discussion and include those who are not able to attend. We look forward to hearing your comments. If you are following along with the book at home, we will cover about 5 chapters each week.

Session 1:

Starting Point - Being Christian means being able to speak and understand the Christian language. However, many are unfamiliar with Christian language and many more misinterpret its meaning. In this book, Marcus Borg takes us through some of this language and helps us understand the true biblical meaning of these words. It's refreshing and it makes sense with what we know in the world.

Question:

Let's start with the word "salvation." What does this word mean to you? Is it about going to heaven or is it about transformation?
