Theological Antinomy: A Biblical Theology of Paradox (Paternoster Theological Monographs Series)

Scripture's teaching on the Incarnation, the Trinity, divine sovereignty  
with human responsibility, and the problem of evil lead to irresolvable  
tensions or paradoxes. In the process of building a biblical theology of  
paradox, Theological Antinomy carefully assesses the biblical passages  
for whether they truly contain tensions and if any of the resolutions  
that have been suggested are sufficient. Joel Arnold suggests a  
model for how conservative interpreters can proceed through the  
theological process without distorting the exegetical information or  
abandoning logical consistency. The book concludes with a rigorous,  
critical examination of Open Theism and its handling of theological  
paradox. Theological Antinomy drives the reader back to the biblical  
text, compels self-conscious analysis theology, and provokes awe at  
the rich complexity of biblical revelation.Read less
