he was installed as the first canon theologian at Trinity Episcopal Cathedral, Portland, Oregon. Borg frequently collaborated with his friend John Dominic Crossan. He was a friend of N. T. Wright since their days together at Oxford, despite having theological differences. The two discussed those differences in their book The Meaning of Jesus: Two Visions (1999, rev. 2007). Borg was often featured in programs on networks such as PBS, NPR and National Geographic, and appeared on ABC World News and The Today Show. In 2001, he debated William Lane Craig over the resurrection of Jesus. Borg also debated New Testament scholar Craig Blomberg and evangelical apologist James White on topics such as the historical reliability of the gospels and the historical Jesus. Borg died on January 21, 2015, in Powell Butte, Oregon.
