Curve-ball
Leading biblical scholar and mentor for thoughtful Christians everywhere, Peter Enns isn’t afraid to raise questions about the Bible or Christian beliefs – in fact, he argues God wants us to question our beliefs, which leads to a stronger, lasting faith. In God and Curve Balls, Enns shows us how the universal experience of encountering “curve balls” in life that make us question God, the Bible, and/or our beliefs can actually be a good thing. By reframing these moments, we allow ourselves to see how the Bible itself showcases this very process and that “treating curve balls as the enemy” is not only counterproductive but thwarts God’s goal of helping us become mature and wise. Enns shares a number of curve balls he’s encountered in his own life—Does God care about the millions of people who never heard the gospel? Could I relate to a God who has created a universe this big? If God is so relatable, constant, and caring, how do we explain quantum physics—and teaches us how particular biblical passages helped him negotiate them, and how they can do the same for us. God and Curve Balls shows that God is bigger and more mysterious than anyone’s expectations and so we need a faith that can grow just as deeply.
