In an era when reason is worshipped yet constantly betrayed, when facts are twisted into illusions and certainty collapses under the weight of contradictions, the ancient voice of Tertullian still echoes: Credo quia absurdum - I believe because it is absurd.
This book does not present faith as a refuge for the naïve, nor as a relic of the past. Instead, it confronts the paradox at the heart of belief: the tension between the demands of reason and the leap into the irrational. In a world where logic no longer guarantees truth and evidence is endlessly manipulated, absurd faith emerges not as weakness but as resistance - a radical trust that dares to exist beyond calculation.
This book does not present faith as a refuge for the naïve, nor as a relic of the past. Instead, it confronts the paradox at the heart of belief: the tension between the demands of reason and the leap into the irrational. In a world where logic no longer guarantees truth and evidence is endlessly manipulated, absurd faith emerges not as weakness but as resistance - a radical trust that dares to exist beyond calculation.
Boris Kriger invites the reader to explore the paradoxical nature of belief in our age of unreason. He shows how absurd faith can train the mind without dissolving into lunacy, how it can sustain courage without the crutches of dogmatism, and how it might point to a deeper wisdom than reason alone can offer.
This is not a call to abandon thought but to recognize its limits, to embrace the mystery that begins where rationality ends. Absurd Faith for an Absurd World is a guide for those who dare to believe - not in spite of absurdity, but through it.
