From the Publisher
Hansen’s years of teaching internationally have taught him the value of presenting theology through the acceptance of paradox, rather than systematically trying to resolve all the mysteries. We can all benefit from this fascinating and enlightening perspective. John H. Walton, Professor of Old Testament, Wheaton College
Truly a “eureka” book. If you’ve ever wondered how human free will and the will of God can coexist, or any number of apparent contradictions in the Bible can be resolved, here are your answers. David Winter, Hon. Canon of Christ Church, Oxford; former Head of Religious Broadcasting, BBC
You’ll love this book as it explores the wonder of a living God who exceeds all your expectations. Paradox Lost is a compelling and timely reminder that God transcends all the boxes we build for him. Wayne Jacobsen, author, Finding Church and He Loves Me; coauthor, The Shack
A highly stimulating, challenging, and well-balanced book. Hansen shows us that paradox reveals a holy, mysterious, and awesome God. I am looking forward to reading this book once more! Kurt Christensen, Professor of Theology, Lutheran School of Theology, Aarhus, Denmark
Hansen is so at home with ideas about biblical paradox that we hardly notice before this book has entered way down deep into our thoughts and feelings about God. Hansen’s meditations supply many splendid images which steer us clear of simplistic thinking about the life of faith. Dustin Ellington, ecturer in New Testament, Justo Mwale University (Zambia)
