The Enneagram by Richard Rohr

A Christian Perspective

An accessible guide that presents the Enneagram as a map of nine personality types rooted in Christian contemplative tradition, explaining how each type’s core fixation and ego-driven passions shape perception, behavior, and relationships. It offers practical insights and spiritual practices for recognizing and loosening habitual defenses, discovering each type’s deeper gifts and corresponding virtues, and moving from identification with the false self toward greater freedom and compassion. Emphasizing grace over judgment, the work frames the Enneagram as a pastoral tool for personal and communal transformation, integration, and ongoing spiritual growth.
