Christian theology is monotheistic, but the idea of the trinity problematises this: how can there be one god, but also Father, Son, and Spirit? Jc Beall provides a simple but logically rigorous solution, arguing that the apparent contradictions of the trinity cannot be rejected without thereby rejecting fundamental truths of divine reality.

Building on his paradigm-shifting work on the incarnation in The Contradictory Christ (OUP, 2021), Jc Beall extends a robust contradictory theology with an account of the trinity. Throughout the history of the Christian church, heretics, apophatics, mystics, atheists, and many others have long proclaimed that the doctrine of the trinity - one of the central doctrines of the Christian faith - is contradictory. In this work, Beall agrees; however, as Beall convincingly argues, one needn't abandon orthodoxy, play language games, inflate one's metaphysics, nor abandon the standard faith in the face of such divine contradiction. Instead, one can accept central axioms of the trinity at face value and, with a suitable account of logical entailment, accept the 'contradictory truths' thereby entailed. With the clarity and precision that only a logician could provide, Beall provided theology and the Christian church in general with a very simple and viable (and arguably correct) model of divine reality. Unlike the vast number of theologians and philosophers before him, Beall rejects the quest for a logically consistent account of divine reality. The triune god (viz., God) is truly and fully described only via contradiction. As such, attempts to remove the contradiction are attempts to remove truths of God.

This book explores and expounds upon questions of paradox and contradiction in theology with an emphasis on recent contributions from analytic philosophical theology. It addresses questions such as: What is the place of paradox in theology? Where might different systems of logic (e.g., paraconsistent ones) find a place in theological discourse (e.g., Christology)? What are proper responses to the presence of contradiction(s) in one’s theological theories? Are appeals to analogical language enough to make sense of paradox? Bringing together an impressive line-up of theologians and philosophers, the volume offers a range of fresh perspectives on a central topic. It is valuable reading for scholars of theology and philosophy of religion.

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.

Paramount in the shaping of early Byzantine identity was the construction of the church of Hagia Sophia in Constantinople (532-537 CE). This book examines the edifice from the perspective of aesthetics to define the concept of beauty and the meaning of art in early Byzantium. Byzantine aesthetic thought is re-evaluated against late antique Neoplatonism and the writings of Pseudo-Dionysius that offer fundamental paradigms for the late antique attitude towards art and beauty. These metaphysical concepts of aesthetics are ultimately grounded in experiences of sensation and perception, and reflect the ways in which the world and reality were perceived and grasped, signifying the cultural identity of early Byzantium. There are different types of aesthetic data, those present in the aesthetic object and those found in aesthetic responses to the object. This study looks at the aesthetic data embodied in the sixth-century architectural structure and interior decoration of Hagia Sophia as well as in literary responses (ekphrasis) to the building. The purpose of the Byzantine ekphrasis was to convey by verbal means the same effects that the artefact itself would have caused. A literary analysis of these rhetorical descriptions recaptures the Byzantine perception and expectations, and at the same time reveals the cognitive processes triggered by the Great Church. The central aesthetic feature that emerges from sixth-century ekphraseis of Hagia Sophia is that of light. Light is described as the decisive element in the experience of the sacred space and light is simultaneously associated with the notion of wisdom. It is argued that the concepts of light and wisdom are interwoven programmatic elements that underlie the unique architecture and non-figurative decoration of Hagia Sophia. A similar concern for the phenomenon of light and its epistemological dimension is reflected in other contemporary monuments, testifying to the pervasiveness of these aesthetic values in early Byzantium.

Abb Boulah! A collection of strange stories featuring pranks, adventures and cantankerous comments by and about the mysterious Abb Boulah and his weirdo friend Bog-Hubert. There are tales from the mythical Fog Island Tavern and Bog-Huberts schemes such as his Island Beach and Beauty Restoration enterprise, the rumors about his secret still in the swamps of North Florida, (producing the potent Eau dHole) and various commentaries about architecture, urban design, downtown revitalization: The Designers Dream, CRA Sticking in Abb Boulahs Craw. and The T-Square and Bumwaderhole. A yarn of strange foulups in the intelligence agencies (Counter Intelligence), various unconventional machinations about a metropolitan mass transit system (Tallahaitian Mass Transit) are mixed in with Abb Boulahs musings about education, (Peace Prize Problems, The Evolution of Education, The Tragedy of Education, Plaintive Soliloqy). on leadership and power (Stupid Power, On Leadership) a different take on a famous journalists book regarding the shape of the Earth (Flat World Rings Hollow), presidential elections Abb Boulah for Ex-President), even a kind of utopia on an abandoned oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico (Rigatopia). Other wild ravings contain creatively different views on various global and societal problems, such as interspecies relations (AbbBug-Lah), Mideast problems (Holy Coin), the deplorable lack of imaginative names for real, imaginary and complex numbers (NameYourNumber.zip), the human and legal rights of multiple personalities (Judge Severin M. Aledict), and other recklessly unconventional ideas and proposals. But even with a final prank concerning emergency planning in the Sunshine State, the mystery of Who Is Abb Boulah? never gets completely resolved.

Analytic Theology is a new and growing movement that draws on the Anglo-American analytic philosophical tradition for theological work. It prizes clarity, brevity, and logical rigour in its exposition of the Church’s historic doctrines and practices. As well as helping to provide Christians with a deeper understanding of their faith, analytic theology also seeks to demonstrate to the academy - and to the world - the coherence and credibility of the Christian worldview.
