The Tears of Things

In The Tears of Things, Richard Rohr explores how the timeless wisdom of the Hebrew prophets offers a model for compassionate living amid contemporary violence and despair. Delving into lesser-known biblical writings, he illustrates the journey from anger to compassion as a form of "sacred criticism," addressing injustice while acknowledging our shared human experience. Combining a century of biblical scholarship with his pastoral voice, Rohr provides a hopeful guide for those seeking enlightenment and a deeper understanding of love in a troubled world.
