Richard Rohr is a Franciscan friar, theologian, and American author born in 1943 in Kansas, United States. He was ordained a priest in 1970 and is recognized for his work in Christian spirituality, mysticism, and personal development from an integrative and contemplative perspective. In 1987, he founded the Center for Action and Contemplation in Albuquerque, New Mexico, with the purpose of teaching spiritual practices that unify the inner life with social commitment

Rohr has written extensively on topics such as the ego, the soul, love, forgiveness, and spiritual maturity. Among his most well-known works are Everything Belongs, The Naked Now, and Man's Search for Meaning (collective with Viktor Frankl). One of his most influential books is The Soul of Man: A Spirituality for Men, in which he proposes a renewed vision of masculinity from Christian spirituality

He is admired for his ability to bridge the Christian tradition with other spiritual and psychological currents, including perennial wisdom and the integration of suffering into the spiritual path. His message resonates especially among those seeking a deep, authentic, and compassionate faith in the modern world.
