Every generation faces the temptation to wander from orthodoxy\\u2015to seek out the jolt that comes with false teaching, and to drift with cultural currents. And so every generation must be awakened again to the thrill of orthodoxy, and experience the astonishment that comes from stumbling afresh upon the electrifying paradoxes at the heart of the Christian faith.In The Thrill of Orthodoxy, Trevin Wax turns the tables on those who believe Christian teaching is narrow and outdated. Returning to the church's creeds, he explains what orthodoxy is and why we can have proper confidence in it, and lays out common ways we can stray from it. By showing how heresies are always actually narrower than orthodoxy\\u2015taking one aspect of the truth and wielding it as a weapon against others\\u2015Wax shows us that false teaching ultimately proves bland and boring, and that orthodoxy is where true adventure can be found."
