Synopsis
When did being right with God come to mean believing the right things about God - believing the right doctrines, reading the Bible the right way, holding the right views?
For many Christians, the idea is at the very core of their religious lives. And that's a problem. Because this focus on being correct can actually distract us from faith in God. What happens when the security of "knowing what you believe" gets disrupted - as it gets sooner or later? What if once settled questions like "What is God really like?" suddenly becomes unsettled?
These are some of the questions that teacher and scholar Peter Enns adresses in "The sin of certainty." Here he explores what goes wrong when we have "believing the right things at the center of our faith and what, instead, should be standing there. For those who have experienced their once rock-solid beliefs beginning to falter, Enns offers hope and guidance for finding a more trustworthy anchor.
