A sweeping, accessible guide to the New Testament’s core themes that reveals Scripture as a living journey of transformation, from two of today’s most beloved spiritual writers
In The Great Themes of Scripture: New Testament, Richard Rohr and Joseph Martos offer a compelling, big-picture reading of the Christian scriptures, uncovering the unifying threads that run from the Gospels through Paul to Revelation. Drawing from talks that shaped Rohr’s early ministry, the authors present Scripture not as abstract doctrine, but as a living story of transformation that is centered on relationship, surrender, and the movement of the Spirit.
Through themes like the reign of God, the paschal mystery, the gift of the Spirit, and the emergence of community as the “body of Christ,” this book shows how the New Testament invites readers into a new way of being. The text challenges literalism and instead emphasizes meaning, experience, and spiritual growth.
Accessible yet theologically rich, this work is ideal for readers seeking a holistic, experiential understanding of the New Testament.
