ECPA Top Shelf Book Cover Award When the Israelites exclaimed,
"Here are your gods!" at the sight of the golden calf, they were
attempting to hold on to the God of their history while fashioning
idols for their own purposes. In today's Western world, plenty of
shiny false gods still hold power--idols of prosperity,
nationalism, and self-interest. Christians desperately need to name
and expose these idols. We must retrieve the biblical emphasis on
idolatry and apply it anew in our journey of following Jesus. In
"Here Are Your Gods," Old Testament scholar Christopher J. H.
Wright combines a biblical study of idolatry with practical
discipleship. He calls readers to consider connections between Old
Testament patterns and today's culture, especially recurring
temptations to trust in political power. Now as much as ever, we
need a biblically informed understanding of the many ways humans
make gods for themselves, the danger of idols, and how God calls us
to join him in the battle against idolatry as part of his ongoing
mission to be known and worshiped by all peoples.
