Peter Rollins is an Irish writer, lecturer, theologian, philosopher whose books include the much-talked-about How (Not) to Speak of God, The Fidelity of Betrayal: Towards a Church Beyond Belief, Insurrection: To Believe is Human: To Doubt, Divine, and The Orthodox Heretic and Other Impossible Tales. He tours the U.K, U.S. and now Canada. He will often be found lecturing during the day and storytelling in pubs late into the night. He is a working philosopher, earned a PhD in postmodern theory, and is founder of Ikon in Northern Ireland. According to John D. Caputo, “Rollins writes and thinks like a new Bonhoeffer, crucifying the trappings of religion in order to lay bare a radical, religionless, and insurrectional Christianity.”

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.
