| Summary: | Paradox in Christian Theology addresses two important questions: ‘Are any essential Christian doctrines genuinely paradoxical?’ and ‘Can a person rationally believe a paradoxical doctrine?’ Part I treats the first question, while Part II tackles the second. Anderson’s sustained analysis of the issues raised by these questions is a model of fruitful interchange between recent work in analytic philosophy of religion and systematic theology., In Part I Anderson defends the claim that at least two core Christian doctrines are paradoxical—namely, the doctrines of the Trinity and the incarnation. Chapter 2 argues at length that the doctrine of the Trinity is paradoxical. |
