We recently had the opportunity to talk with Dr. Tim Keller about his newest book Counterfeit God’s: The Empty Promises of Money, Sex and Power and the Only Hope that Matters. In this book Dr. Keller argues that all sin is, in some sense, idolatry. He points out that all humans were created to worship and serve the true and living God. If they are not worshiping the true God they will always put something or someone in His place. In this interview we asked Dr. Keller questions about this new book. You can find the interview here. We hope you enjoy this episode of Christ the Center.

I was'nt aware that there was a debate over whether or not all sin involves idolatry.If there are opponents to this view,(within orthodox christianity of course and not cultic views.) does he state them in his book..
ReplyDeleteAdam,
ReplyDeleteThe debate is not so much weather all sins involve idolatry, but weather all sins are idolatry, at their base.
