Marcus J. Borg Quotes

Jesus Was Killed. This Is One Of Those Facts That Everybody Knows, But Whose Significance Is Often Overlooked. He Didn't Simply Die; He Was Executed. We As Christians Participate In The Only Major Religious Tradition Whose Founder Was Executed By Established Authority. And If We Ask The Historical Question, "Why Was He Killed?" The Historical Answer Is Because He Was A Social Prophet And Movement Initiator, A Passionate Advocate Of God's Justice, And Radical Critic Of The Domination System Who Had Attracted A Following. If Jesus Had Been Only A Mystic, Healer, And Wisdom Teacher, He Almost Certainly Would Not Have Been Executed. Rather, He Was Killed Because Of His Politics - Because Of His Passion For God's Justice.
