Summary

Pride: Unmasking the Idolatry of Self in the Identity Obsession

A study of identity politics through a biblical lens, looking at idolatry of the self and the elevations of sexual identity.

Critics Review

Roberts helpfully exposes erroneous responses to the issue of ‘sexual orientation’, especially in some quarters of the evangelical church, while bringing us back to the good news of a remedy for sinners of all sexuality stripes. Those who take the time to read this book will find it both enlightening and liberating.

– Jonny Gibson

In a world gone dark, the Bible is a lamp and a light; and Roberts is an able guide through the fraught issues of identity and self today as he faithfully holds forth God’s design in his Word for all to find the path to life and godliness.

– Colin Smothers

At a time when our liberty to proclaim the Gospel in the West is under increasing attack, Matthew Roberts provides a powerful critique of current thinking. He shows that genuine liberation only comes when we understand who we really are: human beings: created by God, in His image, with unique dignity. This is a timely and important book.

– Sharon James
