Book Launch Party, Belfast

Join me to celebrate the launch of my lastest book, The Idolatry of God. The format for the evening is simple: I will give a short talk about the content and you will appear to look interested. Then we can drink and I can try to sell a few copies, hoping that the more alcohol in you consume the less resistance you’l have to getting one.

Here is the blurb on the back of the book:

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. Showing how God has traditionally been approached as a product that will render us complete, remove our suffering, and reveal the answers, he introduces an incendiary approach to faith that invites us to joyfully embrace our brokenness, resolutely face our unknowing, and courageously accept the difficulties of existence. Only then, he argues, can we truly rob death of its sting and enter into the fullness of life.
