The Role of the Spirit in Rohr’s Theological Anthropology

This introductory essay comments on the diversity of positions between theology and anthropology in Richard Rohr. It presents him as one who walks a delicate line between semantic fidelity to Christian doctrine and its impact (or lack thereof) on spiritual well-being of the people affected by the brokenness of the world. Spirituality, which reflects the complexity of life, has become an alternative to institutionally driven Christianity.
