Both+And: Understanding Apparent Contradictions in Christianity

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 and concisely and clearly explains how they can co-exist.

The book is divided into three main sections
   -apparent contradictions in the divine nature; 
   -apparent contradictions in the experience of salvation; and
   -apparent contradiction in the characteristics of being in Christ.

Ross Cunningham, who has a background in creative design, has introduced each chapter with an attractive graphic representation of the paradox in question.
