Whether listeners are devout believers or distant seekers, The Idolatry of God shows that we must lay down our certainties and honestly admit our doubts to identify with Jesus. Rollins purposely upsets fundamentalist certainty in order to open listeners up to a more loving, active manifestation of Christ’s love. In contrast to the usual understanding of the "Good News" as a message offering satisfaction and certainty, Rollins argues for a radical and shattering alternative. He explores how the Good News actually involves embracing the idea that we can’t be whole, that life is difficult, and that we are in the dark.

Would you consider the audio edition of The Idolatry of God to be better than the print version?
Maybe not. It would be easier to underline good passages on a print version, but I like his reading and emphasis in certain parts of the book.
What did you like best about this story?
Peter Rollins has a way of asking us to question our personal relationship with God to help to analyze what is important in our faith and what isn't.
What does Peter Rollins bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
His Irish accent is used in full effect when he tells some allegories/tales to underline his points. It has a lilt that I don't hear in American accents.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes. It isn't really long. Great for a road trip. You can talk with someone about it after you listen to it.
