Richard Rohr is a Franciscan priest born in 1943 who has spent more than fifty years writing and teaching about the contemplative traditions within Christianity. He was ordained in 1970, founded the New Jerusalem Community in Cincinnati in 1971, and established the Center for Action and Contemplation in Albuquerque, New Mexico in 1987. PBS called him “one of the most popular spirituality authors and speakers in the world.”
His books cover a wide range within Christian thought – the Enneagram as a tool for self-knowledge, the mystical dimensions of Scripture, the meaning of suffering, and the nature of the Trinity. Early works like The Wild Man’s Journey and The Enneagram established his voice, while later books like Everything Belongs, Falling Upward, and The Universal Christ brought his ideas to a much larger readership. His 2025 book, The Tears of Things, addresses prophetic wisdom in a time of widespread anger.
Rohr draws heavily on the Desert Fathers, Franciscan theology, and the Christian mystical tradition. His emphasis on contemplative practice over doctrinal argument has made his work popular with readers looking for alternatives to conventional religious frameworks, particularly younger and progressive Christians.
