Book Synopsis
Explores how believers lapse into idolatry, a process Stephen Fowl insists is much different from the decision of those who have rejected belief in God. He asserts that the Old Testament's account of Israel's idolatry as dramatic folly and betrayal describes the after effects of idolatry, not the process of how believers lapse into idolatry.
