The Divine Dance

Publisher's Summary

The Trinity is supposed to be the central doctrine grounding Christianity, yet we're often told that we shouldn't attempt to understand it because it's a mystery. But what if we breached that mystery? How might it transform our relationship with God?

Although the word trinity isn't found in the New Testament - it wasn't until the third century that it was coined - the idea of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit was present in Jesus' life and teachings. In this book, internationally recognized teacher Richard Rohr circles around this paradoxical idea - and circling around is an apt metaphor: Early Christians applied the Greek verb for dance to the mystery of the Trinity, saying whatever is going on in God is a flow - it's like a dance.

meditation book

I used this audio book as a form of prayer..... listening to it at least 15 minutes daily. Beautifully written with captured deep contemplations. The author is brilliant and uses his God given gifts in this wonderful story.

Phenomenal!

This book rescued the idea of Trinity after evangelical fundamentalism tainted it for me. I would've preferred Rohr's voice since I've grown quite attached to it, but the reader does a very good job.

Give thought to the Trinityy

Rhor gives you something to ponder if you have not thought much about the Trinity or a new perspective if you have thought a lot about the Trinity

The dichotomy of Rohr<br />

I find it ironic, borderline hypocrisy, that someone who writes so much on grace, mercy, and forgiveness has such an obvious disdain for his own culture and uses the word " Mega Churches with so much disdain, you can hear it in his writing. If you can get past that, their's a lot of quality theology in his work. Thankfully I've learned to read between the lines with Mr. Rohr and it works for me. Overall a quality read.

In-between mind and soul

The Divine Dance was a rare listen inviting me into what I call the space "in-between." It is that sacred space between mind and soul where the Spirit is actively moving within me in deep experiential ways.

Eye, mind, and heart opening!

I've listened to it twice now and still would like to continue can't get enough of this

Revived my relationship with The Three In One.

Will have this as a reference guide forever. Shoulders up The Holy Scriptures. Thank you!

An inviting approach to enliven faith

I found this a very worthwhile listen. The narrator's voice complimented the topic. I would like to explore the Franciscan way more as a way to deepen my faith because of this book. I like the blend of the mystical exploration and the scientific inclusion.

Insightful, beautiful and refreshing

Richard Rohr has mastered the art of describing the mystery of the trinity and our ordained ability to connect with Yahweh in such beautiful words that excite the soul. I love his use of science and history to place our present moments in context.
