Synopsis

Author and Bible scholar Marcus Borg invites us to join him in revisiting Christianity's most fundamental questions: Who is God? What does salvation mean? What place does Jesus hold in contemporary Christian faith? In this five-session, faith-formation resource, participants enjoy the rare privilege of witnessing Marcus in dialogue with a small, diverse group of adults as they honestly -- and sometimes painfully -- confront the big questions and work together toward authentic answers. Each session includes a 10-minute presentation by Marcus Borg followed by interaction with the group. The program print resources are designed to help your small group "join the dialogue" in your own setting.

The study addresses fundamental questions that adults struggle with as faith matures. It can be used as a resource for personal reflection as well as small group experience.

The five sessions include:
· God
· Jesus
· Salvation
· Community
· Practice 

Participant Workbook ― contains all the material needed for use by class participants as well as notes for the class leader to facilitate each session; leadership can be shared among members of the group.   

SOLD SEPARATELY.  Packaged DVD Contains the video for the five sessions
