Overview
The Lord of Paradox is an illustrated theological poem that highlights the theme of paradox in Christian theology.
Description
In seventy whimsical stanzas, The Lord of Paradox moves from the Genesis creation account through the book of Revelation, highlighting the theme of paradox in Christian theology and powerfully displaying the beauty and wonder of the Gospel. How could the Fall of humankind in the Garden ever be redeemed? Why would a holy God have mercy on such rebellious people? Who would expect Israel's Messiah to come in such a humble form? How could his suffering and death be a means of redemption and eternal life? How could he be simultaneously human and divine? How could God be a single being in three persons? These are just a handful of the dozens of paradoxes--apparent contradictions which are nonetheless true--that distinguish the Christian faith. They are genuine logical puzzles, yet at the same time they are markers of truth--yet another paradox. The Lord of Paradox also features vivid expressionistic illustrations by artist Charlie Spear which enhance the reader's rhymed journey through the exquisite wonder of the Christian faith.
