One of the world's great spiritual teachers offers a new proclamation of the power of the cross to transform human history
Richard Rohr, OFM, is a Franciscan priest of the New Mexico Province and the Founding Director of the Center for Action and Contemplation in Albuquerque, New Mexico. He is the author of numerous books, including The Universal Christ (2019), Just This (2018), The Divine Dance (2016), Immortal Diamond (2013) and Falling Upward (2012), all published by SPCK.
Rohr sees the Christ everywhere, and not just in people. He reminds
us that the first incarnation of God is in Creation itself, and he
tells us that "God loves things by becoming them." Just for that
sentence, and there are so many more, I cannot put this book
down.
*Bono, U2 on THE UNIVERSAL CHRIST*
Fr Richard helps us to see and hear Jesus of Nazareth in what he
taught, what he did and who he is - the loving, liberating and
life-giving expression and presence of God. In so doing he is
helping Christianity to reclaim its soul anew.
*Michael Curry, Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church in America
on THE UNIVERSAL CHRIST*
Fr Richard challenges us to search beneath the surface of our faith
and see what is sacred in everyone and everything. Anyone who
strives to put their faith into action will find encouragement and
inspiration in the pages of this book.
*Melinda Gates, author of The Moment of Lift on THE UNIVERSAL
CHRIST*
Rohr and Morrell have given us a liberating and yet totally
orthodox invitation into the life of God. This book is a
celebration of the Trinity, not as bad math (1+1+1=3), and not as
baffling mystery to avoid, but as the divine movement of love. The
Divine Dance is an example of why Rohr has had such a profound
influence on so many Christians seeking to balance reason and
mystery, action and contemplation, not to mention faith and real
life.
*Nadia Bolz-Weber, Pastor, House for All Sinners and Saints on THE
DIVINE DANCE*
Richard Rohr is one of the great spiritual masters of our time,
indeed of any time. His superb new book on the Trinity is vintage
Rohr: clearheaded, provocative, inspiring, challenging, and, most
of all, suffused with the presence of the Holy Spirit. The Trinity
will of course always remain a profound mystery, but after reading
Father Rohr's book, you will experience it as a mystery that can,
and will, transform your life.
*James Martin, SJ, Author, Jesus: A Pilgrimage and Seven Last Words
on THE DIVINE DANCE*
