The Oxymoronic God: Thoughts about the names of God
$10.01
There are paradoxes and enigmas that exist within God and are captured in the oxymorons that describe Him. In this book, you'll be introduced to new thoughts about God based on His oxymoronic names.
Most oxymorons consist of two words that mean the opposite of each other; together, they offer a new way of looking at something familiar. In combination, they push aside established definitions so that there is space for curiosity and questions. Here are a few examples you may remember from school: Open secret. Old news. Only choice. Almost exactly. Deafening silence. Virtual reality. Civil war.
Defining God using oxymorons is nothing new. He is the 'Servant King' and the 'Crucified Saviour', both of which have been used to describe Jesus since the first century. When we examine these names closely, each word is a flint. The words strike against each other and create sparks of light that, for an instant, allow us to see God more clearly. The only limitation to doing this is our comprehension and imagination.
There are many Oxymoronic names of God to wrap our heads around: Prince of Peace, Living Sacrifice, Unchanging Creator, Divine Human, Jealous God, Lion and Lamb, and Shepherd Lord.
By reading this book, you'll take time to think about these names and others, giving you fresh insight into who God is.
