Reading the Bible Again for the First Time: Taking the Bible Seriously But Not Literally by Marcus J. Borg

3.0

I can see how this book would be helpful for someone who has never attempted to view the Bible as a piece of literature (or rather, many pieces of literature written over time, in specific historical contexts), but I didn't personally find very much in this that I had not already read elsewhere or deduced on my own. If you are interested in reading the Bible in its historical context, this book may be a place to start - but I wouldn't recommend it as the only book you need to read on the topic.
