JESUS, A NEW VISION: SPIRIT, CULTURE, AND THE LIFE OF DISCIPLESHIP
Marcus J. Borg

"Classic Old Testament texts which point to the omnipresence of God are Psalm 139:7-10, 1 Kings 8:27, Isaiah 6:3 ('the whole earth is full of his glory'). The notion of the immanent Logos at the beginning of John's gospel points in the same direction, as do the words attributed approvingly by Luke to Paul in Acts 17:28: 'In God we live and move and have our being.' God is not elsewhere; we live in God."

"The difference between faith as 'belief in something that may or may not exist' and faith as 'trusting in God' is enormous. The first is a matter of the head, the second a matter of the heart; the first can leave one unchanged, the second intrinsically brings change."

"Jesus' life is a vivid testimony to the reality of Spirit, a reality affirmed and known in virtually every society."

"As omnipresent and immanent, God and the world of Spirit are all around us, including within us….we (and everything that is) are in God. We live in Spirit."
