Talk:Marcus Borg

Similarities to Bishop Spong?
I have read some of Borg's work and a little of Spong's. They both seem to advocate similar positions though Spong is clearly more of a populariser whereas Borg's work is more academic. Is there much difference of thought between the two? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.138.16.98 (talk) 00:06, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

There are some differences between the two. Borg proposes a more mystical version of Christianity than Spong. Spong is better at demolishing whereas Borg has a better ability at reconstructing an emerging understanding of Christianity. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.197.4.67 (talk) 21:36, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Both are apostates and blasphemers out to destroy true Christianity! There's your similarity. :( — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.232.177.237 (talk) 17:16, 13 August 2011 (UTC)

Copyright violation
The copyrighted material I removed was from |Borg's autobiography on the Westar Institute site. WeisheitSuchen (talk) 16:42, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

Rather sanitized
The purge of supposed OR has also removed any acknowledgement that Borg is a figure of considerable controversy and, well, heterodox views. I'm strongly tempted simply to roll the article back to the purge and start forward again to improve the quality of citation rather than hide the controversy.
