Never before in the history of personality typing has a system been spiritualized like the Enneagram. It is now even promoted and marketed as a “Christian” and “Gospel-Centered” tool by Enneagram evangelists. But what is the “gospel” offered by the Enneagram system?

Join us for a look at the underlying theology of the Enneagram and some of its fundamental contradictions with basic Christian doctrine.
