About this listen
With compelling and often humorous stories from his own life, Bible scholar Peter Enns offers a fresh look at how Christian life truly works, answering questions that cannot be addressed by the idealized traditional doctrine of "once for all delivered to the saints".
Enns offers a model of vibrant faith that views skepticism not as a loss of belief but as an opportunity to deepen religious conviction with courage and confidence. This is not just an intellectual conviction, he contends, but a more profound kind of knowing that only true faith can provide.
Combining Enns' reflections of his own spiritual journey with an examination of scripture, The Sin of Certainty models an acceptance of mystery and paradox that all believers can follow and why God prefers this path, because it is the only way by which we can become mature disciples who truly trust God. It gives Christians who have known only the demand for certainty permission to view faith on their own flawed, uncertain, yet heartfelt terms.

worth the listen
Thought provoking and stretching (in a healthy way). I would recommend this to a vast array of individuals. A person who's honestly struggling faith, or someone who's been negatively affected by the behavior of faith individuals who seem so certain, forthright, narrow minded and/or seem to 'have all the answers.'
Mind blowing. Honest. Frustrating. Worth it. Could even be helpful in a healing process.
Disclaimer: may be overwhelming, possibly a slow go would be beneficial.

Challenges your opinions in a new way
Why do you have such strong opinions? Are they really as important as you think? Pete really makes you think about these questions, and wonder about what's really the most important.
