Paradoxes of the Christian Faith … Even at a casual glance one will notice there is something inherent in scriptures and that is the proliferation of paradoxes… statements that seem contradictory to one another but upon deep reflection prove true. The pages of the Bible are full of the counterintuitive. The main character is depicted as the lion and lamb, he offers a yoke that promises rest, he tells us that he who loses his life will find it, that he who wishes to live must die, that weakness is strength and vise versa, that foolishness is wisdom and wisdom foolishness.
