Book Overview

When Jesus talked about the Kingdom of God, he was talking about an utterly different way of relating to human society as we know it. He was talking about a new world order, a term recently on the lips of politicians. What a false sense of the term they have used, contends popular preacher and author Richard Rohr. I doubt that any major political leader would align a new world order in terms of cooperation, trust, service and redemptive suffering, writes Rohr. For all the talk of a new world order, it's simply the old world order. The 'New World Order, ' or the 'Reign of God, ' is the heart of the New Testament.

Jesus' Plan For a New World makes sense of what is happening right now in the world.

This book offers hope and practical spiritual guidance for living in painful and chaotic times. Rohr calls out our blindness and describes how we unwittingly participate in supporting economic and political systems that create our further ruin. Best, though, he offers Jesus' Way and perspective for lovingly living change into our world. His explanation of apocalyptic scripture is helpful and encouraging. He leads us ever...

A much needed antidote for irrelevant religion!

I am reading this book for the third time. Thus, it pains me to read the one-star reviews below. These prove the points that Richard makes in this book:"The human need for clarity and certitude leads fundamentalists to use sacred writings in a mechanical, closed-ended and authoritarian manner. This invariably leaves them trapped in their own cultural moment in history, and they often totally miss the real message along with...

The upside-down kingdom

I've read a lot of Rohr's books, but somehow I've only now gotten around to this one. Immersing myself in it was like jumping into an icy mountain pond: stunning, bracing, invigorating, renewing. It's a courageous book that dares to challenge "religious culture," that institutionalization of Christ's gospel that renders it meek and mild and safe, and to persuasively defend instead the original subversive character of Christ's...

What was Jesus really saying?

Fundamentalists like the last reviewer may not like the fact that Jesus was as much a social as a spiritual revolutionary, but Rohr forces the reader to confront this fact. It is truly bizarre that so many modern day conservatives proclaim Jesus as "Savior" while discounting or ignoring almost everything he ever said. The Sermon on the Mount is a political and spiritual discourse that undercuts almost everything that right...

Jesus' plan for a New World: the Sermon on the Mount

Richard Rohr is one of the foremost spiritual writers of ourtimes. His extensive theological background and his many years ofinterpersonal experience with many different peoples (from teenagers to Native Americans) and his vast retreat master experiences gives him the wisdom to speak with authority about the Sermon on the Mount...Jesus' plan for our lives. Rohr cuts through political, cultural and religious structural facades...
