Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
Knowing the Unknowable God
James R. Lucas · 2003
66/100
👎 Skip It
The reframing of biblical paradox as invitation rather than problem is a compelling hook for readers who have wrestled with theological tensions, and the discussion questions make it group-friendly. Without strong independent critical reviews and with Lucas's broad range of subject matter raising some questions about depth, it falls just short of a confident recommendation.
