In presenting the form of paradox as a fundamental structure of Christianity, whether it be in the very possibility of a God who is incarnate and who is defined in Himself by otherness, or in the relationship to the Holy Scriptures made by human hands, or in the understanding of the human being as both nothingness and image, the author defends the idea that it is necessary to “remain/abide” (John 15:10/King James) in paradox, in the manner of Christian faith, in order to take stock of reality and particularly of our present reality made up of serious crises. The author then suggests that, in order to “remain/abide,” the method consists in thinking differently by no longer seeking logical coherence, but to see differently, in particular to see, through the unsurpassable paradox, the glory (doxa) which reveals the mystery of God as well as of reality.
