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? What is man’s problem according to Enneagram theology? And what is the Enneagram’s proposed solution to man’s problem? If this system is advertised as “Christian,” then a biblical critique of the Enneagram’s doctrines of God, man, sin, and salvation is warranted. Join us for a look at the underlying theology of the Enneagram and some of its fundamental contradictions with basic Christian doctrine.
