Ronald Rolheiser

Ronald Rolheiser (* 1947) ist ein kanadischer römisch-katholischer Ordenspriester, Theologe und ehemaliger Präsident der Oblate School of Theology in Texas. Er wurde durch spirituelle Bücher und weltweite Kolumnen bekannt, in denen er christliche Mystik mit psychologischen und existenziellen Fragen verbindet, während konservative Kritiker ihm eine teils zu weitgehende Anpassung an den säkularen Zeitgeist vorwerfen. Für Bibelleser erschließt er theologische Grundfragen seelsorgerlich mit einem Schwerpunkt auf menschlicher Sehnsucht, Scheitern und göttlicher Barmherzigkeit.
