by Richard Rohr
March 5th, 2019
and this book about Rohr
Richard Rohr : illuminations of his life and work / edited by Andreas Ebert and Patricia C. Brockman (1993)
Undoubtedly I'm going to have some reservations about him. But as I read I also find much good.
From his appendixes:
The Pattern of Spiritual Tranformation:
1. Order
2. Disorder
3. Reorder
Four Worldviews
1. material
2. spiritual
3. priestly
4. incarnational
Such interesting references too:

Bruteau has written other books too.
Rohr also cites works of de Chardin, and of Bonaventure, John Dominic Crossan.
