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:

Published by the Theosophical Society, Wheaton Illinois.  Bruteau, Beatrice, Evolution Toward Divinity: Teilhard de Chardin and the Hindu Tradition, 1974

Bruteau has written other books too.

Rohr also cites works of de Chardin, and of Bonaventure, John Dominic Crossan.
