Synopsis

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
