We are all addicted in some way. When we learn to identify our addiction, embrace our brokenness, and surrender to God, we begin to bring healing to ourselves and our world. In Breathing Under Water, Richard Rohr shows how the gospel principles in the Twelve Steps can free anyone from addiction - from an obvious dependence on alcohol or drugs to the more common but less visible addiction that we all have to sin. 'A must-read for any person who recognizes the need to go "inward" on their soul's journey to question what their relationship is with God, themselves, and others.' The Cord 'Rohr is a perfect writer on the subject of the 12 Steps. His easy-to-read book is essentially a commentary on each of the steps, with twelve chapters and a postscript that concisely tackles the big religious questions of human suffering, suffering with which addicts and their families are intimately acquainted. Jesus, Rohr answers, is no stranger to suffering . . . This is a good book for those in recovery from addiction and those who love them. Publishers Weekly 'Richard Rohr continues to guide us to greater wholeness . . . his books have helped countless souls, especially those who struggle with issues of brokenness and seek transformation.' National Catholic Reporter

Soos die ganse Ou Testament afgestem was op die koms van die beloofde Messias, so is die Nuwe Testament afgestem op sy reële koms en die totstandkoming van die nuwe Israel. Die skrywer hou daarvan om die kronologie, tydvak en kulturele atmosfeer rondom ’n gebeurtenis of persoon te ondersoek en poog om die stof toeganklik te maak, met herkenbare raakpunte van die lewe vandag. Die daaglikse lewe en geografie in die wêreld van die Nuwe Testament word nagevors. Die universeel menslike dilemma word weerspieël in die tema van alle musiek en literatuur: Verloor, soek, vind. Die goue draad van die verlossingsgeskiedenis bly behoue tot waar dit aangegee word na die evangelieskrywers vir die krip in Betlehem en daarna aan die apostels van Christus, tot by die boek Openbaring.

This commentary, like each in the series, is designed to serve readers by demonstrating the continuing intellectual and practical viability of theological interpretation of the Bible. Figures of the classical church such as Augustine, Calvin, Luther, and Wesley interpreted the Bible theologically, believing Scripture as a whole witnessed to the gospel of Jesus Christ. Modern interpreters of the Bible questioned this premise. But, in recent decades, a critical mass of theologians and biblical scholars has begun to reassert the priority of a theological reading of Scripture. The "SCM Theological Commentary" series enlists leading theologians to read and interpret Scripture for the twenty-first century, just as the church fathers, the Reformers, and other orthodox Christians did for their times and places.
