More information about this article... The following comments have been left for this page: I was hoping that someone could expand this article a bit. I would like to know more about Marcus Borg's teaching, beliefs, philosophy, life, etc. Specifically I want to know more about hist "historical metaphorical approach" to interpreting the Bible. 65.183.130.55 02:08, 14 March 2007 (UTC)Jessemon (edit)

[edit] Similarities to Bishop Spong?

I have read some of Borg's work and a little of Spong's. They both seem to advocate similar positions though Spong is clearly more of a populariser whereas Borg's work is more academic. Is there much difference of thought between the two? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.138.16.98 (talk) 00:06, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

There are some differences between the two. Borg proposes a more mystical version of Christianity than Spong. Spong is better at demolishing whereas Borg has a better ability at reconstructing an emerging understanding of Christianity. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.197.4.67 (talk) 21:36, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
