Críticas:

Marcus Borg has always been a great teacher. In his newest book The Evolution of the Word his teaching skills are obvious as he opens the New Testament, not only to its original, historical order, but also to insightful, refreshing and dramatic insights. --John Shelby Spong, author of Re-Claiming the Bible for a Non-Religious World
