The Sin of Certainty

Book • 2016
In "The Sin of Certainty," Peter Enns challenges the common emphasis on unwavering certainty in faith, arguing that a more humble and trusting approach is more aligned with the nature of God. He explores the dangers of rigid belief systems and the importance of embracing doubt and uncertainty as part of the spiritual journey.

Enns encourages readers to move beyond simplistic answers and engage with the complexities of faith.

The book promotes a more nuanced understanding of God's relationship with humanity, emphasizing trust and openness over rigid adherence to doctrine.

It's a call for a more authentic and vulnerable approach to faith.
