The Both/And God
How Christianity Thrives on Paradox
English | 123 pages | ISBN 978-616-629-488-0
Modern Christianity desperately tries to resolve its paradoxes. Liberals explain them away. Fundamentalists systematize them into submission. Both miss the point: the contradictions aren’t problems to solve but the very architecture of faith.
From divine death to human freedom, from holy church to sinful members, from sovereign election to genuine choice, Arthur A. Tiger explores how Christianity’s “impossible” truths work like Gothic architecture—opposing forces that don’t destroy but sustain.
This isn’t comfortable Christianity. It’s faith with all its scandals intact, all its offenses preserved, all its paradoxes unresolved. And that’s exactly what makes it true.
- Why “both/and” thinking beats “either/or” theology
- How weakness becomes strength
- Why the majority is usually wrong about ultimate things
- How suffering produces joy that comfort never could
- Why God must allow hell to prove love
Drawing from biblical scholarship, church history, and global Christianity—including testimonies from the persecuted church—Tiger shows that the tensions we try to resolve are the very things that make faith real, powerful, and transformative.
The paradoxes aren’t the problem. They’re the point.
