Contradictory Christ
«Theologians use different methods to address Christological contradictions. Some contend that they are only apparent contradictions. Others hold the contradictions to be true while eliminating logic from theology. Jc Beall takes a different approach. Beall's approach in The Contradictory Christ is to hold Christological contradictions as real and true while preserving a place for reason and logic in theology.»
Aaron Moldenhauer, assistant professor of theology at Concordia University Wisconsin, Reading Religi
In this ground-breaking study, Jc Beall shows that the fundamental "problem" of Christology is simple to see from the role that Christ occupies: the Christ figure is to have the divine and essentially limitless properties of the one and only God but Christ is equally to have the human, essentially limit-imposing properties involved in human nature, limits essentially involved in being human.

The role that Christ occupies thereby appears to demand a contradiction: all
of the limitlessness of God, and all of the limits of humans. This book lays out Beall's contradictory account of Jesus Christ - and thereby a contradictory Christian theology.

«Those who have sensed the contradiction of Christ and have been unsatisfied with answers striving for consistency will be pleased with contradictory Christ theology. It is indeed theologically faithful and, for those willing to entertain non-classical logic, logically sound.»
