Yet American Christians are deeply divided about what it means to follow him. Bible scholar Borg takes us on a journey to discover who Jesus was, what he taught, and why he still matters today. Borg argues that how we see Jesus affects how we see Christianity and reveals a new way of seeing--a new perspective that can overcome the differences between the literalists and progressives, a path that emphasizes following "the way" of Jesus, the original name of the Jesus movement. Jesus remains the decisive revelation of God, but we now encounter him as both a reality and a role model centered in God, focused on both personal and political transformation, emphasizing practices rather than beliefs, and exemplifying a faith characterized by deep commitment and gentle certitude.--From publisher description.   11   The first Christmas : what the Gospels really teach about Jesus's birth - by Borg, Marcus J. - (c2007)   - Location: Main Library /  232.92 Bor Two authorities on the life of Jesus draw on the gospels of Matthew and Luke to tell the true story of Jesus's birth and to place its lessons in context with the modern world.   12   The first Christmas : what the Gospels really teach about Jesus's birth - by Borg, Marcus J. - (c2007)   - Location: Main Library /  232.92 Bor Two authorities on the life of Jesus draw on the gospels of Matthew and Luke to tell the true story of Jesus's birth and to place its lessons in context with the modern world.   13   The last week : the day-by-day account of Jesus's final week in Jerusalem - by Borg, Marcus J. - (c2006)   - Location: Main Library /  232.96 Bor As scholars Borg and Crossan reacted to questions about the blockbuster film The Passion of the Christ, they discovered that many Christians are unclear on the details of events leading up to the Crucifixion. Here they present a day-by-day account of Jesus's final week of life. They begin their story on Palm Sunday with two triumphal entries into Jerusalem. The first, that of Roman governor Pontius Pilate leading Roman soldiers into the city, symbolized military strength. The second heralded a new kind of moral hero who was praised by the people as he rode in on a humble donkey. The Jesus introduced by Borg and Crossan is this new moral hero, a more dangerous Jesus than the one enshrined in the church's traditional teachings, giving up his life to protest power without justice and to condemn the rich who lack concern for the poor.--From publisher description.   14   On second thought : essays out of my life - by Shriver, Donald W. - ( 2010)   - Location: Main Library /  277.3 Shr   15   A dignified life : the best friends approach to Alzheimer's care : a guide for family caregivers - by Bell, Virginia. - (c2002)   - Location: Main Library /  362.1 Bel   16   Talking to Alzheimer's : simple ways to connect when you visit with a family member or friend - by Strauss, Claudia J., 1952- - (c2001)   - Location: Main Library /  362.1 Str   17   Making rounds with Oscar : the extraordinary gift of an ordinary cat - by Dosa, David. - (c2010)   - Location: Main Library /  362.17 Dos When Oscar arrived at the Steere House Nursing and Rehabilitation Center in Rhode Island he was a cute little cat with attitude.
