Description
The Christian faith is full of apparent paradoxes: a compassionate God who sanctions genocide, an all-powerful God who allows horrific suffering, and a God who owns everything yet demands so much from his followers. Many of us have big questions that the Christian faith seems to leave unanswered. Leaving these questions unexamined can be unhealthy for us and dishonouring to God. Rather than shying away from difficult questions, we need to face them head on. Paradoxology makes a bold new claim: that the paradoxes that seem like they ought to undermine belief are actually the heart of our vibrant faith. By continually wrestling with these apparent contradictions, rather than trying to pin them down or push them away, we can really move forward, individually and together.
