Summary

Richard Rohr leads us through the social, political and environmental setting out of which Matthew brought Christ’s radical message of a new world order. He explains Matthew’s challenge to let go of the conventional wisdom that comes with contemporary American culture. Each of seven talks brings us closer to the heart of the Sermon.

Rohr contrasts conventional wisdom with the wisdom of Christ and draws the listener into the Kingdom of God, the end of the world and the experience of enlightenment. He explains that each generation lives in end times, that the Kingdom is for those willing to let go of all cultural idolatry (past and present) and that those who live in reality travel a path of life which unfolds into freedom. This series is a powerful call to follow Jesus Christ in the commandments of the New Testament.

Much food for thought

This is a brilliant series of explanations, and results in being a huge source of hope. The sermon is explained, and makes sense in a deeper way, because of the lead up from Richard. He simplifies the messag whilst keeping the complexity of the context. The Bible makes so much more sense, and remains so very relevant to today.

Compelling

I am have not heard of Richard Rohr previously but really impressed with his insights and wisdom. It's so important to study wider subjects such as economics and sociology in the Christian context. It left me really motivated.

amazing but have some concerns

amazing truths but two concerns:
1- jesus had no problem with wealthy people he had problem with wealthy people who where stingy on the kingdom you can see that is the parable of the rich man whos land gave extra that year.
2- also the bible says that we are justified by faith and works not by faith or works alone and saying that someone can go to heaven if he does the works of the kingdom and not have faith in chirst is wrong according to the bible.
bless you man learned a lot man of god

Truly remarkable

I would have to strongly recommend these talks to anybody looking to be challenged and inspiring about the spiritual journey.

Sometimes there are sound issues, maybe not a surprise given the provenance of these recordings from a retreat. Some of the references give away the age of the recordings, makes some of the comments remarkable for their prescience in describing the world that has come to be since then.

You may not easily agree with or understand straight away all the points that are made, but listening to these talks is worth anyone’s time.
