Marcus J. Borg Quote

Christians also speak of the Bible as the revelation of God, indeed as the Word of God. Yet orthodox Christian theology from ancient times has affirmed that the decisive revelation of God is Jesus. The Bible is the Word become words, God’s revelation in human words; Jesus is the Word become flesh, God’s revelation in a human life. Thus Jesus is more decisive than the Bible.
