Rating:  - Counterintuitive common wisdom
Rohr is improving. He's an experienced practical pastor, whose reflections on scripture are direct and commonsensical. His lines are often powerful: "We can't always be correct, but we can be connected", or "the best criticism of the bad is the practice of the better". And his questions are hard as an anti-Christian might ask: "was Jesus a sado-masochist? Did he relish victimhood?"
Throughout the book Rohr takes on the common self-righteous attitude that religion is about separating ... Read More
Rating:  - Nothing To Be Afraid of in God
"The amazing wonder of biblical revelation that I hope to make clear in this book is that God is much different than we thought, and also much better than we feared," promises Richard Rohr in the first chapter of Things Hidden. The book is based on the author's earlier talks on great themes of scripture. Two key themes he stresses are "Divine, unmerited generosity" is offered unconditionally, and the Spirit promised by Jesus is available to all.
In the Bible, writes Rohr, any time God ... Read More

Things Hidden: Scripture As Spirituality This is the most important book I have read in a long time. It changes lives and allows the practicing Christian a more balanced perspective on life especially at this time. It really is the preaching of "Good News" as Christ taught. The message is what I needed to hear even though I already knew it. Fr. Richard puts it together so well.

with this book, once again richard

but this time with easter-eyes
and thus enter the joy of being wrong
(to paraphrase james alison,
another one of the freshest, catholic voices).
rohr here gives us in simple language
(and without losing any of the depth)
an interpretation of the paradigmatic work ... Read More
Rating:  - Hidden anti-catholic, anti-Christianity
I've reread this several times just to be sure and can say that Fr Rohr teaches against the authority of the catholic Church, not just disagreeing with it. As far as Jesus not needing to die on the cross for our sins (the wages of sin is death so a debt had to be paid) thus is just an example free from real merit for us is unsound Christian theology. Rohr's "emerging church" is one of his own making. Spirituality is good, hence 2 stars; but his overall theme of religion is bad makes for bad exegesis. ... Read More
