Ever since Oprah and Eckhart Tolle started broadcasting via the web their conversations about Tolle’s book A New Earth, some Christians have voiced concerns about the content of Tolle’s book and his conversations with Oprah. From my understanding, some Christians feel that Tolle’s teachings may be dangerous for Christians and may be a threat to Christianity.

Richard Rohr, a Franciscan priest who I’m a big fan of, recently wrote a wonderful, short article called “Eckhart Tolle and the Christian Tradition” (it’s in PDF format). In the article, Rohr explains why he appreciates Tolle’s teachings and how they mesh with Christian tradition.

If you’re concerned about Tolle’s teachings, or are interested in how they might mesh with Christian tradition, this short article may be helpful for you.
