Description for The Idolatry of God: Breaking the Addiction to Certainty and Satisfaction Paperback. An authentic Christianity is one that proclaims an end to the world as we know it and preaches about an utterly new creation. Num Pages: 208 pages, B&W diagrams. BIC Classification: HRCV. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 197 x 135 x 13. Weight in Grams: 158.
In contrast to the usual answers concerning what the Good News might be, incendiary philosopher-theologian Peter Rollins suggests an alternative, radical definition: you can't be satisfied, life is difficult, and you don't know the secret. Arguing that God has traditionally been thought of as a type of product that will make you whole, remove your suffering and give you the truth, Rollins contrasts this with an approach to faith that invites us to embrace suffering, face up to our unknowing and fully accept the difficulties of existence.
