Summary of Richard Rohr's The Universal Christ

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 The first incarnation was the moment when God joined with the physical universe and became the light inside of everything. The incarnation is not only God becoming Jesus, but a much broader event that involves the Christ that we encounter in other human beings.

#2 The first lines of the Bible say that the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters, and the material universe became visible in its depths and meaning. Time has no meaning at this point. The Christ Mystery is the New Testament’s attempt to name this visibility or see-ability that occurred on the first day.

#3 When I know that the world around me is both the hiding place and the revelation of God, I can no longer make a significant distinction between the natural and the supernatural, between the holy and the profane. Everything I see and know is one universe, revolving around one coherent center.

#4 A Incarnational worldview is the recognition of the presence of the divine in literally everything and everyone. It is the key to mental and spiritual health as well as a sense of basic contentment and happiness.
