01310 – Don’t Demean Other Religions
Borg, Marcus J.

To paraphrase William Sloane Coffin, a contemporary author and activist for us as Christians, God is defined by Jesus, but not confined to Jesus.

To paraphrase Krister Stendahl, a New Testament scholar, former dean of Harvard Divinity School, and bishop of the Church of Sweden: we as Christians can sing our love songs to Jesus with wild abandon without needing to demean other religions.

We need not diminish our devotion to Jesus or our affirmation of him as the decisive revelation of God in order to recognize the validity of the other enduring religions.
