Beskrivning
'I cannot put this book down' – BONO‘One of the most influential speakers in the world’ - OPRAH WINFREYIn his decades as a globally recognized teacher, Richard Rohr has helped millions realize what is at stake in matters of faith and spirituality. Yet Rohr has never written on the most perennially talked about topic in Christianity: Jesus. Most know who Jesus was, but who was Christ? Is the word simply Jesus’ last name? Too often, Rohr writes, our understanding has been limited by culture, religious squabbling, and the human tendency to put ourselves at the centre.Drawing on scripture, history and spiritual practice, Rohr articulates a transformative view of Jesus Christ as a portrait of God’s constant, unfolding work in the world. ‘God loves things by becoming them,' he writes, and Jesus’ life was meant to declare that humanity has never been separate from God – except by its own negative choice. When we recover this fundamental truth, faith becomes less about proving Jesus was God, and more about learning to recognize the Creator’s presence all around us and in everyone we meet.Thought-provoking, practical and full of deep hope and vision, The Universal Christ is a landmark book from one of our most beloved spiritual writers, and an invitation to contemplate how God liberates and loves all that is.

Recensioner i media

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.

  1. 5/5 Johan Ö

    Jag är en trogen läsare av Rohrs böcker, med många favoriter. Han hävdar själv att detta är en summering av allt det han har skrivit och jag tycker riktigt mycket om boken och skulle kunna skriva en hel massa. Men jag uppmuntrar dig istället att läsa den själv.

    Så här står det på CAC:s (Center for Action and Contemplation) hemsida "Incarnation is the oldest Christian story. Through Christ, God is pouring God's self into all creation. To be Christian, then, is to see Christ in every thing". Det känns som en bra inspiration att vilja läsa.

    Du kan smaka på vad boken handlar om genom att lyssna på den podcast de har skapat "Another Name For Every Thing", sök den där du hittar dina poddar. Det finns också massor med info på CAC.org om du vill läsa mer.
