Both-And

Is Christianity a circle that can’t be squared?

A visually engaging exploration of apparent contradictions within the Christian faith.
One of the significant challenges in the Christian faith is the number of apparent contradictions the Bible presents. These paradoxes and mysteries can be difficult to understand. In Both And, Ross Cunningham takes 23 pairs of seemingly contradictory truths to concisely and clearly reconcile how they can co–exist.

 
Offering a thorough introduction to the foundations of Christian theology, the book is divided into three main sections:

– apparent contradictions in the divine nature
– apparent contradictions in the experience of salvation
– apparent contradiction in the characteristics of being in Christ

Qualified by his background in creative design, Cunningham is well suited to the task of untangling and clarifying these paradoxical problems. By creating attractive graphic representations, he illustrates how seemingly contradictory truths can be held in dynamic tension.
