Things Hidden: Scripture as Spirituality
with Fr. Richard Rohr, OFM

“I want people to have inspiration and faith, but with the inner surety that they can trust it—because it is the perennial pattern found in the Scriptures and not just their own idiosyncratic experience! I am not trying to change anybody’s doctrines, but I do want to give them utterly new eyes by which to understand those same doctrines. ” – Fr. Richard Rohr, OFM

In his newest book release (November 2007), Fr. Richard Rohr communicates some of the most exciting themes of the Bible, "things hidden" as Jesus said, "since the foundation of the World."

This book hopes to offer you insight into how a people gradually came to believe for themselves, and know with immense inner authority.

Learn a method for reading Scripture that puts heart and head together. Discover how a theme unfolds inside the entire Bible, creating a spirituality that is grounded, traditional, and yet frequently "counter-intuitive" in its mature form. Give the Biblical text true authority, and yet avoid fundamentalism.
