Hope Against Darkness: The Transforming Vision of Saint Francis in an Age of Anxiety

The Transforming Vision of Saint Francis in an Age of Anxiety

Plot

Richard Rohr is a modern prophet calling us to change our ways. Painting a bleak picture of the prevailing thought, culture and attitudes of the present-day West -- which he calls "The Postmodern Opportunity" -- including our cultural biases, our embrace of victimhood, our often fearful attitudes toward one another and toward the Church and religion in general -- all our darknesses -- Rohr offers hope in introducing the Franciscan path of transformation, the "new way of being that would change the face of history."<p> Rohr describes how following Saint Francis' way to forgiveness and love, and "owning the darkness," can bring us out of the postmodern pit in which we find ourselves.
