Individual reading of a vibrant scholarly monograph and discussing it with fellow students from Columbia Theological Seminary (CTS) in Decatur, Georgia, at a colloquium held in Prague. This year we are reading the book "Speaking Christian" by Marcus J. Borg.

The New Testament scholar and church activist Marcus J. Borg argues that the very language Christians use has become dangerously distilled, distorted, and disconnected from the beliefs which once underpinned it. Borg calls for a radical change to the language we use to invoke our beliefs -- the only remedy that will allow the

Church's words to once again ring with truth, power, and hope.
