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 \u003cem\u003ebecause\u003c\/em\u003e 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 \u003cem\u003eParadoxology\u003c\/em\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 308\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.9 x 8.2 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 14, 2017\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53035678105933,"sku":"9780830845040","price":40.14,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0927\/3304\/7117\/files\/OGl5b3J0WnAzbDJnT1NNdm9RUUh0Zz09.webp?v=1766271328","url":"https:\/\/belfastbooks.us\/products\/paradoxology-why-christianity-was-never-meant-to-be-simple-paperback","provider":"belfastbooks.us","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
