Things Hidden: Scripture as Spirituality

Sacred Scripture and Christian spirituality belong together. In this exploration of the central themes of Scripture, Richard Rohr transforms the written word, discovering in these ancient texts a new and vital meaning, relevant and essential to all believers. He uncovers what the Bible says about morality, power, wisdom and the generosity of God in a manner that inspires in us a life-changing response.

Rohr's Christian vision of abundance, grace and joy ”“ counteracting the scarcity, judgement and fear we know in our world ”“ has the power to revolutionize how we relate to ourselves and all around us.

”˜Things Hidden is an invitation of gospel proportion to move on into the life God intends, a life of joy and obedience.' Walter Brueggemann, Professor Emeritus of Old Testament at Columbia Theological Seminary
