The Universal Christ: How a Forgotten Reality Can Change

The Universal Christ: How a Forgotten Reality Can Change Everything We See, Hope For and Believe

'I cannot put this book down' - Bono
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 Jesusâ€™ 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 Godâ€™s constant, unfolding work in the world. â€˜God loves things by becoming them,' he writes, and Jesusâ€™ life was meant to declare that humanity has never been separate from God â€“ 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 Creatorâ€™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.
