Meet the Author - Thomas Moore

Meet Thomas Moore, the former Catholic monk who drew on multiple traditions to help readers deepen their spiritual lives in Care of the Soul

Thomas Moore, the former Catholic monk who drew on multiple traditions to help readers deepen their spiritual lives in the 1992 bestseller "Care of the Soul" will speak at the Abbey 7:15 PM.

Moore is a spiritual innovator whose life work has been helping people find and nurture an everyday spirituality. Besides "Care of the Soul," which was on the NYTimes best-seller list for 44 weeks, Moore has written many other best-selling and award-winning books on religion, spirituality and depth psychology. He has a PhD in religious studies from Syracuse University and is a psychotherapist.

He will discuss his new book "GOSPEL-The Book of Matthew, A New Translation with Commentary." With brand new language, Moore highlights a powerful call for change. The Gospels are often read as moralistic codes that produce guilt and fear. As a result of this strict perception, the use of these texts has often been limited to a Christian audience. However, the Gospels have a message for anyone interested in enriching their lives.
