The Promise of Paradox: A Celebration of Contradictions in the Christian Life

Parker Palmer is an American Quaker mystic/educator. Usually a genial/gentle soul who tries to find language to “build bridges and not walls”, this time in the introduction to the 2008 edition of his first book he writes caustically about those Christians who send to eternal damnation others who do not use the same words as they do to describe who God is for them.
