It seems that the God of the Christian faith is full of paradoxes: He's 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, or
a God who is distant and yet present at the same time.
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, 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.
Many of us have big questions about God that the Christian faith
seems to leave unanswered. Rather than
shying away from the difficult questions, we need to face them head on.

Advance Praise
"As I read this book I thought, I wish I had this book when I was in college—when
I was studying theology and wrestling with life's challenges. As I
continued to read I realized that a book like this is always timely
because the more difficult biblical narratives are still there, and our
life and faith will always present us with challenges. Krish Kandiah has
given us a valuable treasure in his new book. Rich in theology, warmth,
and honesty, Paradoxology offers a safe place to explore and engage tough questions." —Jo Saxton, chair of the board, 3D Movements
"Being able to live within the tensions created by paradox is one of
the most essential capacities for true spiritual deepening and growth.
So to have an entire book devoted to reflecting on the reality that the
life of faith is full of paradox, to acknowledge some of the most
confounding ones, and then learn how to be with God in the midst of
them—wow! What a gift! I am most grateful for this offering that clearly
emerges from Krish Kandiah's honest wrestling with the great paradoxes
of life." —Ruth Haley Barton, founder and CEO, Transforming Center, author of Strengthening the Soul of Your Leadership and Life Together in Christ
"Krish Kandiah explores here the genuine paradoxes of the Bible in an open and honest manner. Paradoxology will bless a new generation with a new kind of apologetics."
—Scot McKnight, Julius R. Mantey Professor of New Testament, Northern Seminary
