About this listen
In language that Paul might use if he were preaching and writing today, Rohr presents Paul’s all-embracing vision and invites us to enter into the mystery of Christ and be transformed. Rohr breaks new ground by applying up-to-date theories of our universe, integrating them with Paul’s revolutionary thinking about sin, saints and spirituality.
Deep and complex, Paul may seem to be full of inconsistencies: arrogant but also humble, a fervent believer but a probing, critical thinker, a mystic but also a missionary community builder. Rohr admits the difficulties in understanding the short excerpts of Paul’s letters read at Sunday Mass. He analyzes the letters and explains the great themes. He challenges our usual understandings and invites us to imitate Paul and enter into the mystery in organic solidarity with the Risen Christ. Rohr sees us as partaking in the incredible transformation of the whole cosmos that struggles with the pattern of descent and ascent that is revealed and affirmed in Jesus.

Paul as a person
enjoyed the perspective Paul was seen from and the perception the author used to develop his case for understanding Paul as a teacher, and missionary.

New perspective on St Paul
If you are not a fan of St Paul, find him judgemental, arrogant and non inclusive, this is a great book. Fr Rohr explains the context, time and culture St Paul’s letters were written. His explanations allowed me to see that St Paul is just the opposite of these qualities. He is very human in his goodness and foibles and super human in his faith and perseverance. His focus on the body of Christ is beautiful. The way he challenges the organized church of the day resonates two thousand years later!
Fr Rohr’s goal was to make the reader fall in love with St Paul; for me, he achieved that.

Brilliant
I already loved the writer Paul, but this series blew me away. I love the way that Richard Rohr speaks as well as his interpretations of scripture.
