The Universal Christ: How a Forgotten Reality Can Change Everything We See, Hope For, and Believe
Description
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From one of the world’s most influential spiritual
thinkers, a long-awaited book exploring what it means that Jesus was called
“Christ,” and how this forgotten truth can restore hope and meaning to our
lives. “Anyone who strives to put their faith into action will find
encouragement and inspiration in the pages of this book.”—Melinda Gates In 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’s
last name? Too often, Rohr writes, our understandings have been limited by
culture, religious debate, and the human tendency to put ourselves at the
center. 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’s 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. Read more
