Summary:The bifurcated map described by rhetoric and composition excludes the possibility of the middle and ignores the complexities of human identity and thought. This map leaves no room for those who may hold liberal political views while practicing their faith or for those who, while socially conservative, experience a Christian community focused on compassion and forgiveness. In The First Paul and The Power of Parable, Borg and Crossan speak to the contradictions with which some readers or listeners have lived for many years, the conflicts between their own values and church teachings. Borg and Crossan offer discourse that resolves these tensions, inviting their audiences including those in the church alumni association to create up identities within a Christian community that does not require doctrinal purity but instead challenges the domination systems of our culture and emphasizes mercy for the oppressed and disadvantaged.
