Redeemer Summer Readers 2026: Fr. Richard Rohr on the Hebrew Prophets
‘How do we live compassionately in a time of violence and despair? What can we do with the anger we feel in such an unjust world? In his most personal book yet, Richard Rohr turns to the writings and lives of the Hebrew prophets, revealing how some of the less-read books of the Bible offer us a crucial path forward today. Drawing on a century of biblical scholarship and written in the warm voice that has endeared Rohr to millions, ‘The Tears of Things’ breathes new life into ancient wisdom. It paves a path of enlightenment for anyone seeking a compassionate way of living in a hurting world.”
Join us for an unhurried experience of reading, reflection, and shared discussion with fellow members of the Redeemer community (and other friends who join us). In five weekly meetings from early July to early August, we’ll explore the messages offered by the Prophets for our own troubled times, guided by one of the most admired voices of contemporary spirituality, Fr, Richard Rohr, founder of the Centre for Action and Contemplation, and author, among other previous books, of The Universal Christ.
His new book, The Tears of Things, is widely available from retailers in multiple formats, and also on loan from the Toronto Public Library. We’ll begin on July 7 and finish on August 4, meeting Tuesday evenings on Zoom, 6:30-7:45 PM. Registration is now closed. Group leaders will forward the Zoom link to all who registered.
