In summary a wonderful book for those who want to avoid the Sin of Certainty. This book is less like a teacher and more like a friend who has already gone a ways down the road you're traveling and is telling you what it was like for them.He’s totally mixed up. And not just because he has the same last name as my wife. My parents didn't read it and therefore I didn't. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. Nice people, bad-lazy beliefs. As we as a human species grow in greater consciousness and awareness of our time on this earth,may we never subjugate past peoples with our own needs and prejudices in an attempt to make a large mystery totally understandable.

Enns does an excellent job of conveying the need for each of us to keep our eye on the ball and place our ultimate trust in God. Enns is talking sense here, and the narrator's (same one from The Bible Tells Me So) glib tone makes the book come alive.

God does His own thing & often doesn't follow through with what we think He promised. Start by marking “The Sin of Certainty” as Want to Read: This book is less like a teacher and more like a friend who has already gone a ways down the road you're traveling and is telling you what it was like for them.Can There Be Peace and Joy in Your Life Without Certainty? This is a paradigm-shifting book on the nature of believing. As a young kid, believing the Bible was just something you did. Watching the online sermons from rural Texas and reading these books have brought new peace and joy to my life.A poignant, raw look at the Christian (Protestant) faith But it also freed him to be more open to the Spirit and to critical scholarship. This is a humbling reminder from a brilliant soul that we are far from definitive answers about a being beyond our reach. By definition, God can’t be.” Enns may accuse conservative Protestants of a wide variety of intellectual sins and vices, but he seems perfectly happy perpetuating our most banal clichés.Stylistically, Enns’s prose mostly buries the occasional memorable line among banalities. Peter Enns tackles a relevant issue in the Christian community today and one that I've especially noticed among conservative evangelicals: PRIDE, aka one of the seven deadly sins. This book actually caused me to quit my church (of 21 years - Bye bye Wesleyan Methodist theology. Christians, regardless of education level, have those difficult moments that provoke The main theme is that the role of the church and of us as Christians is to trust Christ and love others as first priority.

It is patently unfair to attempt to use our thoughts and concepts to infer the life and message of people who lived before science and history had evolved. I doubt it. That seminary's loss became the gain for the broader body of Christ. I've listened to the Audible version of the book twice now, and I'm about to start through the Kindle version.

About 2/3rds of the way through, I broke into cathartic sobs of release as I felt God's pleasure with my own fight-of-faith. In our time I'd like to think that he and I could buy each other some drinks while we yelled at each about our differences. The Sin of Certainty (Peter Enns) -- Review THE SIN OF CERTAINTY: Why God Desires our Trust More than our “Correct” Beliefs. This is a paradigm-shifting book on the nature of believing. Never mind that the “walking stick” of questioning certainty and doubt One would hope that both time and Enns’s well-known history of conflict about his doubts and questions would improve the quality of the effort, and that he would offer deep and substantive words of the kind Ames gives us. I do believe he sees his writing as a kind of ministry though he actively deflects the notion that he is in any way a pastor. Peter Enns has a very breezy and easy-to-read writing style which engages you even when he is discussing very weighty issues. And when I finally did start reading it in my mid-20's, I came to a stunning conclusion that this book was not as "good" as I had believed before reading it.
