World-renowned Christian scholar, author and lecturer, Marcus Borg participated in a weekend of lectures and discussion last March. Borg’s most recent book, co-authored with John Dominic Crossan, was "The Last Week – a day-by-day account of Jesus Final week in Jerusalem" was based on Mark’s Gospel. This book was the subject of the six-week Lenten Study led by Karen Ptolemy-Stam in 2007. Borg’s lectures were a fitting ending for the Lenten Studies as he outlined for the audience "A Tale of Two Christianities". His section lecture was an inspiring and hopeful treatise on "Transformation – Seeing the Christian Life Again." Dr. Borg also addressed the George Street United congregation on the following Sunday morning, with the theme of "Open Hearts and Thin Places."
