Ideas Matter 1995 | Jesus at 2000
In 1995 Marcus Borg produced a series of lectures to celebrate the birth of Jesus, 2000 years previously. This pioneering series not only brought in an astonishing array of visitors -- Huston Smith, John Dominic Crossen, Harvey Cox, Karen Jo Torejessen, and Alan Segal, but used technology in new and interesting ways. The conference was held over two days in Winter of 1995. While Corvallis was partially flooded and virtually turned into an island, the conference (while attracting over 750 actual participants) was televised and viewed around the country. The conversation continued on the internet, and Marcus Borg edited the papers from the conference which were published by Westview Press as Jesus at 2000.
