Description
What Do We Do With the Bible? poses a compelling question: Does this ancient, sometimes violent and contradictory text have anything to teach us today? Selective use of Scripture—by preachers and politicians alike—has been employed to justify violence, racism, misogyny, homophobia... the list goes on. Still, we believe the Bible has something important to say. How can we read it in a contemplative and intelligent way?
In What Do We Do With the Bible?, Richard Rohr answers just this question. He offers a methodology of hermeneutics (interpretation) that creates a foundation for a hopeful and cosmic vision—incarnation from beginning to end of time. (He explores this vision further in The Universal Christ.)
In particular, Father Richard focuses on Jesus' own method of using his Hebrew Scriptures. Jesus read between the lines to find and follow God's mercy, inclusion, and compassionate justice. For him, everything came down to relationship and transformation.

While direct reviews of this title are limited, Richard Rohr's wider body of work receives high praise. Bono of U2 applauds Rohr's vision in The Universal Christ for its profound insight, and Jonathan Martin calls The Divine Dance an instant spiritual classic. Dr Mehmet Oz highlights Falling Upward as an essential guide to spiritual maturity. These endorsements reflect Rohr's consistent impact on spiritual and theological understanding.
