Theology Book Club: The Universal Christ by Richard Rohr [Part 1]

We're back!

Theology Book Club is finally back at it. We are starting 2023 with the Part 1 of Richard Rohr's The Universal Christ. This beautiful work by this beloved spiritual thinker explores what Jesus being called "Christ" means.

Join us locally in Tallahassee, FL or online in a hybrid gathering to discuss Part 1 of the book on Sunday, January 15, 6:00-7:30 pm ET. We will finished the book with another gathering in February.

More about the Universal Christ:

"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."

All who are willing to engage in the discussion respectfully are invited to join!
