reviewed Meaning of Jesus: Two Visions on October 28, 2012 Meaning of Jesus
Jesus asked his disciples, "Who do you say that I am?" Two of today's leading theologians, Marcus Berg and N. T. (Nicholas Thomas) Wright, give their answers in alternating chapters on eight different aspects of Christology.
I will admit that I relate more closely to Wright's views than Borg's, and find Wright's more readable. And admit further that half way through the book I gave up reading Borg's chapters. (The book was due back at the public library and I wanted to finish with it before I started my new job.
Borg makes a sharp distinction between "the Jesus of History" and "the Christ of Faith." The latter, which he sees in most of the New Testament writings, is largely metaphortical and is a product of the early church's imagination. The virgin birth, in his view, is metaphorical, as are miracles and one is not too sure about Jesus' resurrection itself.
Wright, as much a historian as a theologian, reads the same New Testament but sees one Jesus, not two. The J of History IS the Christ of Faith.
The two different versions of Jesus lead to two different "visions of the Christian life."
