Afterword by Andrew Harvey
Appendix: MAGA’s Precarious Manhood vs. Authentic Masculinity From the Foreword by Caroline Myss: If there was ever a time, a moment, for examining the archetype of the antichrist it is now…Read this book with an open mind. Good and evil are real forces in our world. |
Andrew Harvey reads the Afterword.
| From the Afterword by Andrew Harvey: Matthew Fox is our living elder statesman of the authentic Christian mystical tradition. This book may be the most important of all the great and pioneering
works |
he has graced us with over the decades, as our greatest living Christian theologian. It is certainly the bravest, the riskiest, and the most affronting to anyone who doubts the existence and terrible power of evil in our expanding global dark night…. There is a
far greater power of Eternal Light that uses without them knowing, both evil and its emissary, for the Divine’s own redemptive purposes….The arc of history the Christ has shown us bends not only towards justice but to resurrection. |
From a reader of the advance copy of the book, who is a mother and grandmother: Once I started reading, I couldn’t put it down. The energy of the book is lingering. Realizing that I have felt this heaviness looming and didn’t know how to name it. |
|
You have named it and now I know what we are facing. Very quick and concise read. Easy to follow and absorb. Startling to see it all woven together! This book and its author I believe will go down in history as the person and vehicle that dared to call out evil by its
true name into the light of truth and justice. My prayer is that the Holy Spirit guides it into the hands of all those with eyes to see and ears to hear. You can pre-order the paperback copy HERE. We already have requests of multiple copies for distribution so there is a 10% price reduction, plus free shipping, for 10 or more books. I am personally asking each of you to help promote the book by GETTING THE
WORD OUT to your family, friends, colleagues and organizations. Let this be our contribution to keeping America on a democratic trajectory by encouraging democracy over theocracy. |

Queries for Contemplation |
How important is it to you to hear named the “heaviness that is looming” so that we can face it and move beyond it? |
Sins of the Spirit, Blessings of the Flesh: Transforming Evil in Soul and Society
Visionary theologian and best-selling author Matthew Fox offers a new theology of evil
that fundamentally changes the traditional perception of good and evil and points the way to a more enlightened treatment of ourselves, one another, and all of nature. In comparing the Eastern tradition of the 7 chakras to the Western tradition of the 7 capital sins, Fox allows us to think creatively about our capacity for personal and institutional evil and what we can do about them.
“A scholarly
masterpiece embodying a better vision and depth of perception far beyond the grasp of any one single science. A breath-taking analysis.” — Diarmuid O’Murchu, author of Quantum Theology: Spiritual Implications of the New Physics |
|
The Pope’s War: Why Ratzinger’s Secret Crusade Has Imperiled the Church and How It Can Be Saved
The Pope’s War offers a provocative look at three decades of corruption in the
Catholic Church, focusing on Josef Ratzinger, Pope Benedict XVI. The final section in the book focuses on birthing a truly catholic Christianity.
“This book should be read by everybody, not only for its ferocious courage, but also for its vision for what needs to be saved from the destructive forces that threaten authentic Christianity.” ~ Andrew Harvey, author of The Hope.
“In the gripping The Pope’s War, Matthew Fox takes an unwavering look at the layers of corruption in the Catholic Church, holding moral truth against power.” — Jason Berry, author of Vows of Silence: The Abuse of Power in the Papacy of John Paul II |

Original Blessing: A Primer in Creation Spirituality
Matthew Fox lays out a whole new direction for Christianity—a direction that is in fact very ancient and very grounded in Jewish thinking (the fact that Jesus was a Jew
is often neglected by Christian theology): the Four Paths of Creation Spirituality, the Vias Positiva, Negativa, Creativa and Transformativa in an extended and deeply developed way.
“Original Blessing makes available to the Christian world and to the human community a radical cure for all dark and derogatory views of the natural world wherever these may have originated.” –Thomas Berry, author,
The Dream of the Earth; The Great Work; co-author, The Universe Story |
|
A New Reformation: Creation Spirituality & The Transformation of Christianity
A modern-day theologian’s call for the radical transformation of Christianity that will allow us to move once again
from the hollow trappings of organized religion to genuine spirituality. A New Reformation echoes the Reformation initiated by Martin Luther in 1517 and offers a new vision of Christianity that values the Earth, honors the feminine, and respects science and deep ecumenism.
“This is a deep and forceful book….With prophetic insight, Matthew Fox reveals what has corrupted religion in the West and the therapy for its
healing.” ~Bruce Chilton, author of Rabbi Jesus: An Intimate Biography |
