Discussion Questions
8 questions1.Which chapter or idea in the book had the most impact on you, and why? Was there a particular sentence, illustration, or question that you found yourself thinking about long after you put the book down?
2.At the beginning of this study, how would you have described your ego's default posture — puffed up, deflated, or constantly oscillating between the two? Has that self-assessment changed or deepened after working through the book?
3.Keller's whole argument rests on the claim that justification by faith — the gospel verdict that is already in — is the only thing that can truly free the ego. Do you find this convincing? Are there any parts of the argument you still wrestle with or find hard to apply?
