The Cost of Certainty: How Religious Conviction Betrays the Human Psyche

by Jeremy Young

The Cost of Certainty: How Religious Conviction Betrays the Human Psyche Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

This book critically explores the Christian teaching of God's unconditional love. The author argues for the recovery of a spirituality of uncertainty and unconditional love as a basis for a renewal of contemporary Christian faith and practice.

Synopsis:

In The Cost of Certainty, Jeremy Young addresses the fundamental contradiction in Christian teaching: proclamation of God's unconditional love for all, and insistence on exclusive forms of salvation. Young, who has served as priest, educator, and therapist, examines the diminution of the gospel message through exclusion and the fearful search for certainty. He advocates instead for a return to unconditional love and trusting faith.
