Distilled into a single volume, here is the essence of Marcus Borg: the world’s leading spokesman for progressive Christianity until his death in 2015, and one of the most widely respected and influential theologians of our time.

In his many critically acclaimed books, Marcus J. Borg pioneered a new kind of Christianity: one that resonates with progressive, socially engaged Christians throughout the world. Now, two years after his death, comes Days of Awe and Wonder, a selection from his most important and enduring works, some of them hitherto unpublished, which explores what it means to be a Christian in the twenty­first century. Provocative and uplifting, this anthology will enlighten all who are meeting Marcus Borg for the first time, and amply reward those who would like to renew their acquaintance with one of the world’s finest theological writers.
