Lloyd Geering — New Idols for Old

St Andrew's Trust for the Study of Religion & Society 1996 Stapled, 53pp. The erosion of traditional religious belief is commonly believed to be leading us into a non-religious society where human common sense prevails. This is only partly true. The ancient phenomenon of idolatry, which the Judeo-Christian tradition originally came into being to stamp out, and which is subsequently held at bay, is today re-emerging in new and more subtle forms, not only in secural society but even in the churches. In this book, Lloyd Geering explains: - Why Idolatry is Dangerous Self-deception and explores: - Idolatry in the Church - Idolatry in Society - Idolatry in the Marketplace. (ISBN: 0959801170). Very Good.
