Marcus Borg estimates that 10-20% of Christians have met the actual 'spirit,' ghost if you will, of Jesus of Nazareth.
How do you react to something like that?
How does it affect you?
Have you met Him?
Are you afraid to talk about it in the Church?
Marcus Borg was speaking here in London (Ont.) yesterday about how he understands the difference between the "pre-Easter Jesus" and the "post-Easter Jesus." It led me to a question about his view that there was no time to ask, so I'm bringing it here....
Marcus Borg is one of my favorite authors. He is coming to town today here in London (Ont), and so I've been thinking of questions that I want to ask him.
Something I've been reflecting on lately is about how easy it would be for a reasonably intelligent person to become 'converted' to the perspective Borg presents in, for example, "The Heart of Christianity" without necessarily being a very happy, healthy, or even moral person.
