It seems that the God of the Christian faith is full of paradoxes:
a compassionate God who sanctions genocide an all-powerful God who
allows horrific suffering a God who owns everything yet demands so
much from his followers a God who is distant and yet present at the
same time Many of us have big questions about God that the
Christian faith seems to leave unanswered, so we push them to the
back of our minds for fear of destabilizing our beliefs. But
leaving these questions unexamined is neither healthy for us nor
honoring to God. Rather than shying away from the difficult
questions, we need to face them head on. What if the tension
between apparently opposing doctrines is exactly where faith comes
alive? What if this ancient faith has survived so long not in spite
of but precisely because of these apparent contradictions? What if
it is in the difficult parts of the Bible that God is most clearly
revealed? In his new book Paradoxology Krish Kandiah makes a bold
new claim: that the paradoxes that seem like they ought to
undermine belief are actually the heart of our vibrant faith, and
it is only by continually wrestling with them--rather than trying
to pin them down or push them away--that we can really move
forward, individually and together.
