Dogma in the middle-ages up to the present gravitates toward simplistic ultimatums and hubris. The so-called dogma of the Alexandrian Mystics is of a different order. The Jesus Paradox counters static dogmatic religion by focusing on dynamic creative tension. The Alexandrian Mystics’ understanding of the incarnation (the Jesus Paradox) isn’t simple union, but dynamic creative union.
Today’s liberals often get lost in complexity and fail to define anything decisively. The Alexandrian Mystics bypass the unending thicket of complex arguments by holding fast to Jesus: God’s human incarnation: God’s dynamic moving target.

That settles it.” Neither of these statements reflects the dynamic mystery of the incarnation—the resounding depth of the Jesus Paradox.

I appreciate Georges Bataille: “True language is poetic.” Poetry doesn’t make heavy-handed demands, demeaning people who miss the mark. It quietly invites transformation.
