    About The Ironic Christian’s Companion

    A prominent religious scholar who isn’t afraid to shake our assumptions and probe our imaginations, Patrick Henry has written a guide for the “ironic Christian”—one who strives to integrate truth with faith, to let an expanding knowledge of the world translate into an expanded understanding of God. Drawing on the works of a diverse group of writers and thinkers, from C.S. Lewis and Julian of Norwich to Anne Sexton, Yogi Berra, and Dr. Seuss, he explores the ways in which we can maintain our belief in a God defined by mysteriousness. With humor, humility, and courage, he asks us to join him in this spiritual quest—and in the dizzying, thrilling leaps that faith invites.

    “I’m happy to report that I’ve found the third in a series of recently published books that takes up the study of God and his grace and does it in a readable and inspiring fashion.
