The Divine Magician: Christ and the Vanishing Act of God

@ Dr Denison Secondary School
135 Bristol Road, Newmarket
Peter Rollins new release The Idolatry of God: Breaking the Addiction to Certainty and Satisfaction continues Rollins’ practice of turning theology upside down in his effort to subvert the religious establishment’s love affair with the status quo. In contrast to the usual answers concerning what the Good News might be, Peter insists on a radical
and initially disturbing 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, he will contrast that with an approach to faith which invites us to
embrace suffering, face up to our unknowing and fully accept the difficulties of existence.
