How can you look at the worst and see the best? How can you at the same time judge and forgive? How can you face weakness and find strength, possess humility and be self-assured? These are but a few of the obligations Christianity demands. And to every Christian there must come the means of understanding these paradoxes, of applying them in everyday life and thought. With acute insight, psychological knowledge, and deep religions discernment, this book explains some of the most difficult paradoxes of the Christian faith." The courage to proclaim saving paradoxes," says Bishop Kennedy, "is Christianity's saving strength." In twenty-one chapters he takes up the paradoxical truths of the gospel - humility and assurance, sin and grace, tension and peace, death and life, and others. To explain these essential paradoxes - the essence of the Christian message - is the purpose of this book. The Lion and the Lamb is a very real contribution to the understanding of the nature and meaning of the Christian faith - the book includes vital messages enforced by vivid illustrations, offering fresh approaches to the richest texts of Scripture, bringing a practical, inspiring Christian philosophy for our time.(This description taken for the 1950 edition book cover)
