Richard Rohr leads us through the social, political and environmental setting out of which Matthew brought Christ's radical message of a new world order. He explains Matthew's challenge to let go of the conventional wisdom that comes with contemporary American culture. Each of seven talks brings us closer to the heart of the Sermon.
Rohr contrasts conventional wisdom with the wisdom of Christ and draws the listener into the Kingdom of God, the end of the world and the experience of enlightenment. He explains that each generation lives in end times, that the Kingdom is for those willing to let go of all cultural idolatry (past and present) and that those who live in reality travel a path of life which unfolds into freedom. This series is a powerful call to follow Jesus Christ in the commandments of the New Testament.

"Let me put it this way: for the first time in my life, I read a book with a highlighter in my hand... and used it copiously. This is one of the most accessible, relevant, and "amen"-inducing books I've ever read." — Angela (5 out of 5 stars)

" Very good - but i need to read slow and probalby re-read often to get out of it what is said. Not a religious book "
" Not certain I whole-heartedly agree with some of Father Rohr's conclusions, but he has to be one of the most quotable people I have read recently. A challenging, insightful read. "
