The Universal Christ

Richard Rohr

Rohr argues 'Christ' is not Jesus's last name but the name for God's presence in everything — a lens that reconciles science, other faiths, and the sacredness of the material world.

A Franciscan priest's distinction between Jesus (a person in history) and 'the Christ' (the eternal, cosmic presence of God in all creation), arguing this larger vision heals a too-small Christianity.
