It would be too obvious to say that the popularity of the enneagram is growing like wildfire among modern evangelicals. It is being taught in churches. Books about it are being read and studied as fast as publishers can print and distribute them. In-the-know Christians converse with one another about their enneagram numbers with the kind of casual but complete understanding that reminds one of the interchanges that are often had by sports aficionados or annual Comic Con attendees.

In short, despite having been around for a while, it is the new thing.

So, imagine my consternation when I began to realize that not only was this thing quickly becoming all the rage within evangelical communities, but that I couldn’t find much at all in the form of evangelical critique or response.
