E 182 The Quest for Perfection: Seeking to be Better than Well

£2.77

The quest for perfection is seen everywhere in Western culture, driven by an obsession with appearance and a narrative of progress. It drives us to seek perfect bodies, perfect babies and perfect brains.

This detailed and persuasive study, based on extensive research and reflection, explores the origins of this quest, how it distorts the idea of humanity made in the image of God, and how the good news of Jesus equips us to engage with it.
