In this revolutionary follow-up to The Last Week and The First Christmas, Marcus Borg and John Dominic Crossan once again use biblical and historical scholarship to expose the Church's conspiracy to silence Jesus's most faithful disciple, the Apostle Paul.

Scholars have known for decades that some of the letters of Paul in the New Testament were not written by him. Instead, later writers penned the material - writers who were more interested in blunting the radical edge of Paul's teachings, such as his confrontation with the Roman Empire, and his commitment to equality. Borg and Crossan show how the early Church tried to dilute Paul's radical egalitarian message and transform it into something more in line with contemporary doctrine.

Marcus J. Borg is Hundere Distinguished Professor of Religion and Culture at Oregon State University and author of the bestselling Meeting Jesus Again for the First Time, The Heart of Christianity, Reading the Bible Again for the First Time, The God We Never Knew, and Jesus.

John Dominic Crossan is the author of several bestselling books including God & Empire, The Historical Jesus, Jesus: A Revolutionary Biography, The Birth of Christianity, Who Killed Jesus? and The Last Week, co-authored with Marcus Borg. He lives in Minneola, Florida.

"Borg and Crossan reveal a figure who, besides being neither anti-Semitic, anti-sex, nor misogynist, stresses social and political equality among Christians and between them and others. A refreshing and heartening exculpation of a still routinely maligned figure of the first importance to culture and civilization."

Lid on one did not work/grind salt or pepper
I received 2 of these products . One is good. The other lid was not good to grind. I had to purchase from a different seller and take the lid off that one to exchange for the lid that would not grind. Nothing would come out no matter how much I tried adjusting the lid. So I was actually out of money for having to reorder another salt/pepper grinder. The one that worked I give 5 stars the one that didn’t I wish I could get a refund on but it’s probably too late to receive a refund. I didn’t try it out until it was too late for a refund.

Good Buy
I used for the first time today. I’m very pleased at how it functioned. Ease of use is great and it looks nice as well. It’s larger than I expected and I’m very pleased with that, because it means I don’t have to refill the bottle so often. I only purchased to use for the peppercorn not for salt. I’ll buy another one for the Himalayan salt. I highly recommend.

You have to adjust them to how course you want your salt and pepper and they are not electric mills

Comes in a set and nicely priced! Seem to be of good quality and they work well. These aren’t battery operated and you control the amount and courseness of the salt and pepper yourself. They look great in any kitchen and they are refillable, which I really like! They have a good ergonomic design to them so they’re easy to handle and operate. The speed of the grinding depends on how you operate it. I really like these and highly recommend them! Great value! 👍
