Richard Rohr has become popular among those who identify as Progressive Christians. I've mentioned him here and there. But nothing I could write would come close to Alisa Childers' articulate presentation. You can also find a list of her articles on Rohr HERE.
Below is a YouTube video by Childers. It is fast-paced and packs a lot of information. I wish I had a transcript. The introduction sets it up well:
Richard Rohr is a Franciscan priest, author of several books, and the founder of the Center for Action and Contemplation (CAC) in Albuquerque, New Mexico. His teachings are gaining influence, especially among millennials who grew up in the Evangelical church. He is particularly influential in the progressive Christian movement and is referred to as a spiritual father, hero, and mentor by well-known progressive voices. But what does he really believe? In today's video, I analyze Rohr's teachings regarding the gospel and focus especially on his view of the Bible, which he believes does not give a clear theology of God and is full of contradictions.
