Description
Idolatry: A Process of Diverting Love Away from God In Idolatry, Stephen E. Fowl explores how believers can lapse into idolatry, a process distinct from rejecting the living God. Fowl argues that idolatry is not about making a conscious choice to worship false gods, but rather a gradual diversion of love and attention away from the one true God. Fowl examines various habits, practices, and dispositions that can lead to idolatry, using Scripture to demonstrate how believers become inclined to it. He identifies key issues such as curiosity, greed, and insecurity, which can be countered by an undistracted focus on Jesus. By understanding the root causes of idolatry, Christians can learn to navigate a world filled with false idols and live abundantly with God. This book offers hope for those struggling with idolatry, providing a diagnosis and definition of its root causes before they become precipitated actions.
