Paradox: Embracing the Tensions of Christianity

by Matt LeRoy, Jeremy Summers

There is tension in our faith. On the surface, many defining elements of Christianity seem opposed to each other. They feel like contradictions; but as with the strings of a guitar, the tension is exactly what creates the music. Christianity's essential truths are not in debate, but dialogue--the tension doesn't pull them apart, it holds them together. And faith expands as we see the beauty in the mystery. That's the purpose of Paradox. Ten chapters wrestle through difficult questions with courageous honesty and creative insight. This book fosters a safe and authentic environment for readers to express their doubts. And it issues a bold challenge for Christians to embrace the tension and explore the Paradox. Paradox is also ideal for group study, with free online discipleship resources for leaders at shepherdingresources.com.

Read for Sunday school class. Some chapters made for good discussion. Some of the material was pretty basic for our experienced class. But overall useful and well-written.
