Borg, Marcus Borg. I met him about six years ago. He was introduced to me by a Friend from another Meeting when we were on a course at Woodbrooke – and it was love at first sight! Well, not quite ‘sight’ as he wasn’t there in person. The Friend recommended a particular book of his, Meeting Jesus Again for the First Time: The Historical Jesus and the Heart of Contemporary Faith, which I devoured. I read others. Then, later, at the bookshop in Friends House, I came across what for me is his pièce de résistance – Speaking Christian: Recovering the Lost Meaning of Christian Words.
