Season Two – Episode 4 Conversation: The Idolatry Of God, by Peter Rollins
Episode #4. Shake up all your theological assumptions with us as we glimpse our comfy Christianity, in all of its idolatrous ways, with Pete Rollins. Where do we find our identity? How does “the Christ event” inform how we listen to the other. Equal parts brainy and experiential this book is a must read for anyone in need of fresh vision for what it means to be a Christ follower.
Conversation
“…people keep wanting to treat Jesus as a type of king. In contrast, he is constantly depicted as doing things that undermine this idolatrous way of relating to him. Showing weakness when people expect strength, powerlessness when they want power, and humility when they want majesty. In other words, we believe in Jesus (as the Idol) and Jesus informs us that this is not the case”.
