Paradox and Contradiction in the Biblical Traditions - The Two Ways of the World (Hardcover)

The principal thesis that the author advances in this book is that
paradox and contradiction constitute the two ways of the world.
Paradox represents the way of the people of the Bible, and
contradiction represents the way of all peoples who, having lived
without knowledge of the Bible, have traditionally been known as
gentiles or pagans. The two ideas that are central to the biblical
way of life (as known historically by Jews, Christians, and
Muslims) are creation and covenant, while the contradictory way of
paganism has precisely been marked by the absence of these two
concepts. In his book the author distinguishes the paradoxical way
of the world from the contradictory way of the world through the
examination of principal texts of four of the most significant
early modern, European thinkers from the later sixteenth century to
the earlier eighteenth century: Montaigne, Descartes, Spinoza, and
Vico. He shows that each of these four authors, in distinctive yet
fundamentally interrelated fashion, provides us with profound
insight into how absolutely different the paradoxical way of the
world as biblical is from the contradictory way of the world as
found, primarily and specifically, in Greek and Roman antiquity.
