Too often the tensions and unanswerable questions of Scripture and the Christian life are seen as barriers to faith. In *Paradox Lost*, pastor and author Richard Hansen shows that they are exactly the opposite-indeed, God's mysteries are one of the places where we may encounter him most closely. In exchange for Enlightenment-based rationalism that can stunt spiritual imagination, Hansen invites readers to:
* Discern that there is a hiddenness to God that can be inviting rather than threatening * Appreciate that God is far greater than we sometimes assume, and to adjust our mental maps to make more space for awe * Realize that faith and reason are not enemies but rather dance partners that complement one another
Hansen examines three kinds, or "orders," of biblical paradox, each at a deeper level than the last, demonstrating for readers that paradox is both endemic to modern life and also a natural part of the landscape of Christian faith. *Paradox Lost* doesn't seek to solve or justify paradox; instead, it looks through paradox toward what it reveals-namely a holy, mysterious, and awesome God.
