Author and Bible scholar Marcus Borg invites us to join him in revisiting Christianity's most fundamental questions: Who is God? What does salvation mean? What place does Jesus hold in contemporary Christian faith?

In this five-session, faith-formation resource, participants enjoy the rare privilege of witnessing Marcus in dialogue with a small, diverse group of adults as they honestly — and sometimes painfully — confront the big questions and work together toward authentic answers. Each session includes a 10-minute presentation by Marcus Borg followed by interaction with the group. The program print resources are designed to help your small group "join the dialogue" in your own setting. The study addresses fundamental questions that adults struggle with as faith matures. It can be used as a resource for personal reflection as well as small group experience.

The five sessions include:
• God
• Jesus
• Salvation
• Community
• Practice

Components
• Packaged DVD — contains the video for the five sessions

An adult formation resource for those who seek a richer understanding of their faith and why they believe what they believe. Encouraging theological reflection personally and within a small group, Marcus Borg stimulates thoughtful and heartfelt conversation among his listeners. Following a 10-minute DVD of his initial teaching and listening to a small group interact together with him, your group will delve more deeply into the theme, becoming an extension of Borg's small group. Participants become teachers for one another, following a model of adult learning that is personal, respectful and engaged.

About the DVD:
Sessions are flexibly designed for 1-2 hours in length, expandable to more than 1 session per topic if desired. Four to seven options are offered for further exploration, making this an excellent resource for ongoing study, for groups preparing to reaffirm their faith and for those asking how faith relates to contemporary world issues.

Through DVD-based video excerpts and a thoughtful participant handbook, group members explore questions of concern to 21st century Christians on key faith issues: God, Jesus, Salvation, Practice and Community.

The Embracing an Adult Faith DVD contains all video footage needed to conduct this study. Also available is the Participant's Workbook which contains all materials needed by both the learners and the leader during the sessions. One book is needed for each participant and leader.
