Both–And
Understanding Apparent Contradictions in Christianity
Ross Cunningham
Attractive layout
Concise chapters
The apparent contradictions in 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.
Ross Cunningham, who has a background in creative design, has introduced each chapter with an attractive graphic representation of the paradox in question.

Christian Focus
In this fresh and accessible book, Ross Cunningham addresses these antimonies of Christian faith and experience with clarity and faithfulness to the witness of scripture. What is particularly valuable is his use of visual imagery to highlight each area of tension. This is a primer in Christian theology and a valuable resource for both personal and group reflection.

By wrestling with the rich and complex doctrines at the heart of the Christian Scriptures, and pressing into some of the apparent contradictions therein, he has discovered truth and beauty and goodness, which he shares in abundance in this book. This is a colourful and creatively presented introduction to profound theological truth that will stimulate both mind and heart.

… writes with clarity and conciseness that renders accessible the complexity of doctrine without compromising on difficult truths. I heartily commend it to you.

Both–And is an insightful, creative, clarifying book that helps us think through the theological tensions that arise when we study the Bible. The illustrations and biblically grounded explanations memorably communicate these tensions so that we understand better both the complexity and simplicity of the big ideas of theology. I’m thankful for this excellent resource and expect that it will be of great help to those wanting to understand the answers to life’s biggest questions.
